"Bartholomew Fair" is a Jacobean comedy written by Ben Jonson. Set at the
Bartholomew Fair in London, the play offers a detailed and diverse portrayal
of early seventeenth-century city life. It explores social, religious, and
political conflicts of the time. The play begins with metadrama, where the
stage-keeper criticizes the lack of romantic elements. The story follows
characters like Littlewit, Quarlous, and Winwife as they plot to win over Dame
Purecraft from the hypocritical Puritan, Zeal-of-the-Land Busy. The fair
becomes a catalyst for the characters' experiences and challenges their social
identities. The play satirizes Puritans, who were often seen as threats to the
English Church and the theatre. "Bartholomew Fair" premiered in 1614 and had
sporadic revivals over the years. It has been praised for its inventiveness
and was performed at various theatres, including the Royal Shakespeare
Company.
