Chrononhotonthologos is a satirical play written by Henry Carey in the 18th century. The play is a parody of the popular tragic plays of the time and features a nonsensical plot, absurd characters, and comical dialogue. The title itself is a made-up word that is meant to sound grandiose and impressive. The play follows the story of the fictional kingdom of Queerummania, where the king, Chrononhotonthologos, is a tyrant who is obsessed with his own power and status. The play is filled with puns, wordplay, and exaggerated characters, making it a hilarious and entertaining read. Despite its satirical nature, the play also touches on themes of power, corruption, and the absurdity of human nature. Overall, Chrononhotonthologos is a witty and clever play that provides a unique and humorous take on the traditional tragic genre.17th Century work.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
