The magnetic lady

the long version

"This is the first fully annotated edition of Ben Jonson's The Magnetic Lady written in 1632. It contains textual and explanatory notes and the text is modernised for student use. The introduction places the play in the context of Jonson's later dramatic and poetic works and discusses the political context of the Caroline court. A performance history of the play and fresh material relating to its seventeenth-century reception is also provided."--Jacket.
