Volpone is fantastic! The other plays are interesting, but a bit dense. Jonson’s language takes some getting used to, but the effort is worth it. A great addition to my library.
Siddharth Malik –
Enjoyed Volpone the most out of this collection. The other two were okay, but didn’t resonate with me as much. Overall, a solid collection of classic plays.
Rudraksh Ravikiran Kornule –
Jonson’s satire is brutal and brilliant. Volpone is a must-read. The other plays are good, but not as impactful. A challenging but rewarding read.
Achyuth Balakrishnan –
A fascinating glimpse into Jacobean England. Volpone is a masterpiece, though the other plays are less accessible. The humor is biting and the social commentary is spot-on.
Jaipal Kumar –
Volpone is a sharp satire! Jonson’s wit shines, though the language can be challenging for modern readers. The other plays are a mixed bag. Overall, a worthwhile read for those interested in classic drama.

I struggled with the language, but the wit and satire still shone through. ‘Volpone’ was the standout, the other plays less so. Definitely requires patience!
Vaibhav Agrawal –
Jonson’s brilliance is undeniable, but this wasn’t my favorite. Volpone stands out, but ‘The Alchemist’ and ‘Bartholomew Fair’ didn’t quite grab me. Still, worth reading for the satire.
Joy Aditya Minz –
I enjoyed Volpone immensely! The characters are so over-the-top and the plot is cleverly crafted. Some parts of the other plays felt a bit slow, but still a good collection.
Piyush Raj –
Volpone is a comedic masterpiece! The other plays are interesting historically but not as engaging. Be prepared for some archaic language.
Mahak Gupta –
Absolutely loved Volpone! The other plays are also well-written, but Volpone’s plot and characters are unforgettable. Jonson’s wit is timeless.
Prachi Charde –
A great collection of plays by Ben Jonson. Volpone is definitely the highlight, but the others offer valuable insights into the period. Highly recommended for theatre lovers.

While ‘Volpone’ lived up to its reputation, ‘The Alchemist’ and ‘Bartholomew Fair’ were less enjoyable due to overly complicated plots. But this is a great book overall!
Shruti Chawla –
I found Volpone to be quite clever and funny, but the other plays didn’t hold my attention as well. Jonson’s writing style can be difficult to follow at times.
