Ben Johnson's Every Man in His Humour
lxiv, 176pp. Deep blue cloth boards (still strong and bright, gently rubbed at edges in places). Internally neat, clean, bright and tight barring a previous owner's name on endpaper. In its original dust jacket (a little toned and rubbed at edges, sunned around spine, a few mild marks). This volume has three purposes - it reproduces an authoritative version of Johnson's original text; and, through an extensive, heavily researched introduction, seeks to solve the problem of its date and composition; and to illustrate its literary relations and its faithful picture of contemporary London.
