Hui's is an ambitious project, with its aim not only to develop a new, psychoanalytic reading of Volpone, but also to explore how such a reading illuminates Jonson's comedies and their precise critique more broadly. It is unapologetically a work ofcultural theory, even as it evidences attention to historical and literary criticism.--Heather C. Easterling, Gonzaga University ""Ben Jonson Journal Vol. 26, No. 2, November, 2019"" Isaac Hui's study presents us with a passionate and highly original approach to reading and thinking about Jonson's comedies. Taking under his critical lens - primarily, but not exclusively - Volpone and its 'bastards', the book takes us on a wide and most rewarding journey through many different and very topical issues and considerations.-- ""Alenka Zupančič, Research Center of the Slovenian Academy of Sciences and Arts""
