The first four plays bound in the volume are by Ben Jonson and include two of his best-loved comedies, Volpone and The Alchemist. Shadwell?s adaptation of Shakespeare?s Timon of Athens was first performed at the Duke?s Theatre in February 1677/1678 and was first printed by J. M. for Henry Herringman in 1678. No record exists of a performance of Shakespeare?s original play prior to Shadwell?s version. The main difference between the two plays - except for Shadwell?s rewording of it - lies in the addition of love interest with a jealous fiancée and a mistress for Timon. Shakespeare?s original masque of Amazons in the first Act is replaced by a bucolic interlude where Cupid and Bacchus, with a chorus of nymphs and satyrs, argue for the supremacy of love or wine. Shadwell?s version of the play became very popular, particularly when Henry Purcell composed some incidental music for it in 1694 and Thomas Betterton took the title role.
