Bag om The Comical Satire Of Every Man Out Of His Humor

The Comical Satire of Every Man Out of His Humor is a classic play written by Ben Jonson, first published in 1600. This book is a reprint of the original quarto edition by Linge. The play is a satirical comedy that explores the various humors or personalities of its characters, each of whom is out of balance with their natural temperament.

The play is a commentary on the social and moral issues of Jonson's time, including the corruption of the court and the folly of pursuing wealth and status at the expense of one's happiness. Overall, The Comical Satire of Every Man Out of His Humor is a witty and entertaining play that still resonates with modern audiences.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
