This volume offers the broadest range of information on Jonson and his works, from background on contexts to details of recent interpretations of his plays.

Offers an account of critical debates around the idea of performativity. This work also traces the history of the concept through the work of influential theorists. It examines the implications of performativity for fields such as literary and cultural theory, philosophy, performance studies, and the theory of gender and sexuality.
