The Moral Stage?

Seminar paper from the year 2004 in the subject Didactics for the subject English - History of Literature, Eras, grade: sehr gut (1,0), Free University of Berlin (Anglistisches Seminar), language: English, abstract: In the course of this essay, I shall focus upon the English playwright Ben Jonson's (1572 - 1637) complex relation to questions of theatricality, aesthetic judgment and the ethical value of dramatic production as expressed in his later prose-comedy 'Bartholomew Fair' (1614). By way of a close reading of the most relevant passages of the play, I will try to provide a detailed investigation into his moral criticism of contemporary society, his conception of theatricality as a vehicle for moral education, and the role of distanced intellectual judgment as a crucial factor in this process.
