Product Description

Book Description
Excerpt from Douglas A. Brooks, "Recent Studies on Ben Jonson (1991 - mid-2001)", _English Literary Renaissance_ 33:1(2003), 110-152:
"Examining a range of dramatic and non-dramatic texts that

anticipated or influenced Jonson's characterization of Justice

Overdo [in _Bartholmew Fair_], Rocco Coronato […] tracks the magistrate as he wanders through the

Fair making his 'discoveries' and mistakes, ultimately seeing in him

both a parodic treatment of the 'disguised ruler' tradition and a

response to the carnivalesque within the court itself.
[...]
Aligning Catiline with a Bakhtinian figure of discord, Roman Saturnalian celebrations

with medieval carnivals, and looking at both sets of correspondences

in the context of early seventeenth-century carnivalesque practices

associated with the Lord of Misrule, Coronato reads _Catiline_

in light of questions raised in the play, its Sallustian sources,

and Jonson's stance as an author concerned with the status of the

popular voice in politics."
