Abstract

The article presents dramatic criticisms of Ben Jonson's play "Bartholomew Fair." One of the critics describes that the humor of this play is crude but full of heart and tolerant and is considered one of the minor and coarser masterpieces of comic art. According to the article, the play presents the best-drawn Puritan in English whose anti-Puritan farce is livelier and better constructed.
