The Alchemist - British Heritage Database Reader-Printable Edition with Explanatory Notes

ebook
The Alchemist, first performed in 1610, is widely regarded as the best of Ben Jonson’s brilliantly constructed comedies. Set in plague-ridden London and bursting with entertaining incident, it centres on a trio of rogues – Face, Subtle and Doll – who devise ingenious schemes to dupe and deceive a variety of greedy and foolish victims. Based on the 1616 Folio and edited by Dr David Atkinson, the BHD edition has over 200 pages of hyperlinked explanatory notes and may be printed for personal use. Whilst historic spelling and punctuation have been preserved as far as possible, layout improvements and standard character substitutions (such as s for long s, and v for u) enable the text to be read and spoken with ease.
