Overview. Volpone, written by English playwright Ben Johnson in 1606, is a satirical Jacobean comedy that unfolds in 17th-century Venice. The play follows the wealthy Volpone as he feigns illness in order to trick his greedy acquaintances into giving him gifts.
Benjamin Jonson ( Westminster, c. 11 de junio de 1572- Londres, 6 de agosto de 1637) fue un dramaturgo, poeta y actor inglés del Renacimiento. Sus obras más conocidas son Volpone además de sus poemas líricos. Jonson leía mucho y tenía un apetito aparentemente insaciable por la controversia.
Ben Jonson used many sources in writing Volpone. The characters’ animal names and some of the themes are taken from medieval beast fables about a fox named Reynard, as well as a story in Aesop’s Fables in which a fox plays dead to trick a crow into dropping cheese.
