    Larger-than-life characters collide when Brainworm, a clever servant, works to foil the plans of his master, Knowell, through a series of deceptions and disguises that take him all over London. Jonson uses a single day and a single setting to weave a tight picture of everyday life in a bustling Early Modern city comedy.

    In his play Every Man Out of His Humour (1599), Jonson explains that the system of humours governing the body may by metaphor be applied to the general disposition, so that a peculiar quality may so possess a person as to make him or her act in one way. Jonson’s characters usually represent one humour and, thus unbalanced, are basically caricatures. Jonson distinguished two kinds of humour: one was true humour, in which one peculiar quality actually possessed a man, body and soul; the other was an adopted humour, or mannerism, in which a man went out of his way to appear singular by affecting certain fashions of clothing, speech, and social habits.

    Every Man in His Humour, comic drama in five acts that established the reputation of Ben Jonson, performed in London by the Lord Chamberlain’s Men in 1598 and revised sometime before its publication in the folio edition of 1616. With its galleries of grotesques, its scornful detachment, and its rather academic effect, the play introduced to the English stage a vigorous and direct anatomizing of “the time’s deformities”—the language, habits, and humours of the contemporary London scene.
