Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Tale of a Tub: Ben Jonson A Tale of a Tub had never appeared in a separate edition until the autumn of 1913, when Dr. Hans Scherer brought it out in Materialien zur Kunde des Alteren Englischen Dramas, Band 39. Although the present work was well under way when Scherer´s appeared, it was, of course, a question as to whether there was need of another edition. The Yale University Library offered exceptional resources for a more detailed study of the text than had yet been made; and in many instances the views of the present editor were quite different from those previously brought forward. It was believed, therefore, that there still remained an opportunity to edit the play in such a way as to make it more available to English readers. Though A Tale of a Tub must always be considered one of the least significant of Jonson´s plays, it is to be doubted if any other affords more interest for a study of the present nature. The question of date, once settled, becomes merely an interesting bit of literary history. But the play itself; its freshness and vitality; its return to the Gammer-Gurton species; its grasp on the mid-sixteenth-century, John-Heywood manner of thought; its Inigo-Jones interest; its missing Vitruvius-Hoop ∂ the unique aspect presented by the summarizing Motion at the end - all these things, as revealing Jonson and the working of Jonson´s mind at this particular stage in his work, suggest questions and ideas over which a student might well like to linger, and which he can not hope to exhaust within the prescribed limits of a work like this.
