Amazon.com description: Product Description: CLASSIC DRAMA â NEW COMPLETE EDITION WITH FULL STUDENT GLOSSARY. Volpone Or, The Fox by Ben Jonson. Volpone (Italian for "sly fox") is a comedy play by English playwright Ben Jonson first produced in 1605-06, drawing on elements of city comedy and beast fable. A merciless satire of greed and lust, it remains Jonson's most-performed play, and it is ranked among the finest Jacobean Era comedies. Volpone is a Venetian gentleman who pretends to be on his deathbed, after a long illness, in order to dupe Voltore, Corbaccio, and Corvino, three men who aspire to inherit his fortune. In their turns, each man arrives to Volponeâs house bearing a luxurious gift, intent upon having his name inscribed to the will of Volpone, as his heir. Mosca, Volponeâs parasite servant, encourages each man, Voltore, Corbaccio, and Corvino, to believe that he has been named heir to Volponeâs fortune; in the course of which, Mosca persuades Corbaccio to disinherit his own son in favour of Volpone.
