The Alchemist is a fast-paced whirlwind of fantasy and mockery confined to a single room, offering a witty culmination of Jonson's experiments with city comedy. Widely recognized as one of the most impressive achievements of the period's theatre, it has been described as one of the three most perfect plots in literature by Coleridge. However, the play is notoriously difficult, with its alchemical language aging into obscurity and its insiderly humor often seeming impenetrable to students approaching it for the first time. This comprehensive annotated edition translates and illuminates the play's many pleasures, showing how Jonson's cynical, street-wise wit resonates with contemporary sensibilities. Pollard highlights the play's witty ingenuity, while providing the information and guidance needed to fully understand and enjoy The Alchemist.
