Cynthia's Revels, or The Fountain of Self-Love

About this film

LibriVox recording of Cynthia's Revels, or The Fountain of Self-Love by Ben Jonson. Read in English by a full cast. "Cynthia's Revels," the second "comical satire," was acted in 1600, and, as a play, is even more lengthy, elaborate, and impossible than "Every Man Out of His Humour." Here personal satire seems to have absorbed everything, and while much of the caricature is admirable, especially in the detail of witty and trenchantly satirical dialogue, the central idea of a fountain of self-love is not very well carried out, and the persons revert at times to abstractions, the action to allegory.
