FOUR
JACOBEAN CITY COMEDIES
EDITED BY GAMINI SALGADO
The idiom of these Jacobean comedies is everywhere that of the bustling and bawdy metropolis; and the gulling of dupes and the seduction of women and the activities of sharpers and rogues are presented with irresistible vivacity. London and its court appeared to these dramatists as a striking and comprehensive image of human appetite and folly. However, though satire may dominate, the moralist's censure is often tempered by an affection for the richness and variety of city life.
Only Massinger in 'A New Way to Pay Old Debts', his finest play, explicitly condemns human weakness. Both Marston and Jonson, in expansive mood, remind ijs that man is also an animal, and that he forgets this at his peril, while in Middleton's 'A Mad World, My Masters' we find an unambiguous celebration of the virtuosity of its villain-heroes.
