The first volume of a two-volume Soviet edition of the dramatic works of Ben Jonson, the prominent English Renaissance playwright and contemporary of Shakespeare. Published in 1931 by Academia as part of the “Treasures of World Literature” series, this scholarly volume features an introductory study and commentary by I. A. Aksenov, a preface by I. Anisimov, and artistic design by E. D. Belukha. The publication represents the Soviet engagement with early modern European drama through the lens of Marxist literary criticism and reflects the high editorial and design standards of the Academia press in the early 1930s.
