The Staple of News: by Ben Jonson

by Tony Parr (Editor)

Overview

Excellent Revels text now back in print at the new £9.99 price. Leading edition of this play by Ben Jonson - no other edition of this calibre at the moment. Professor Anthony Parr has a proven track record with the Three Jacobean Travel Plays (now in paperback at £14.99). The complete canon of Ben Jonson is being brought back into print in the Revels. The play itself is one of Jonson's best and has a prescient storyline about journalism being traduced and becoming entertainment instead of remaining factual.
