Honoria and Mammon is a Caroline era stage play by James Shirley, first published in 1659 though not produced until 2013.
It is a revision and expansion of Shirley's earlier morality play A Contention for Honor and Riches (c. 1630, printed 1633), and illustrates the persistence of influence of archaic forms of drama through the final phase of English Renaissance theatre.
The play was first printed in 1659 (though the publication date has sometimes been erroneously listed as 1658),[1] in an octavo volume issued by the bookseller John Crook that also contains Shirley's The Contention of Ajax and Ulysses.
The Lady Honoria has three suitors for her hand in marriage: Alamode, a courtier; Alworth, a scholar; and Conquest, a colonel.
Phantasm reveals his demon nature to Lady Mammon, and deserts her; sobered, she accepts Conquest as her husband, and he gives up Honoria to Alworth.
