Ben Jonson's Volpone is the most widely taught and commonly performed English Renaissance play outside of Shakespeare. However, the dramatic circumstances of its writing are little known. In this 2008 book, Dutton describes the play's close links with the sensational Gunpowder Plot, an event in which Jonson was closely involved.
