Cynthia’s Revels: Or The Fountain Of Self-Love is a play written by Ben Jonson and published in 1912. The play is a satire of the court of Queen Elizabeth I and the social and political issues of the time. The story revolves around the character of Crites, who is a proud and arrogant man who believes he is superior to everyone else. He is determined to win the favor of Cynthia, the queen of the court, and will stop at nothing to achieve his goal. However, his arrogance and self-love lead to his downfall, and he is ultimately exposed as a fraud. The play is a commentary on the dangers of pride and the importance of humility and self-awareness. It is a witty and entertaining work that provides insights into the culture and society of the Elizabethan era.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
