Paper

In a two page paper (double-spaced), compare the market activity represented in Jonson's Bartholomew Fair with a current-day fair or similar market situation. Narrow your focus as much as you can. The best papers will explore one specific aspect of Bartholomew Fair or a few closely related aspects. For instance, you could write about how Jonson's play portrays the customers at a fair or even narrow in on one specific kind of customer. You could write about how the sellers at the various stalls hawk their wares or even narrow in on one specific seller's advertising tactics.

Devote at least half of your paper to describing some aspect of Bartholomew Fair. Be as detailed as you can. Quote directly from Jonson's text (at least three times) and explain the quotations you choose. You do not need to research anything about Bartholomew Fair or seventeenth-century English fairs outside Jonson's text. In fact, you don't have room in a paper this length to include that kind of research and also do justice to the text of Jonson's play. For this assignment, use the play as your guide and source of information for how the market activity at Bartholomew Fair works.

When you describe a current-day fair or similar situation, again be as specific and detailed as you can. And draw clear, specific points of comparison between your current-day example and Jonson's play. If you do not want to write about a current- day fair, you might consider writing about a convention, an amusement park, a sporting event or a theatrical event where things are bought and sold-or about something else that strikes you as related. For this portion of the paper, you may need to do a small bit of research, if you do not know enough about your current-day topic. However, if you have personal experience and anecdotes about a fair or similar environment, those anecdotes will suffice for your observations. You are not required to do any outside research for this paper.
