While Ben Jonson s political visions have been well documented,
this is the first study to consider how he threaded his views into
the various literary genres in which he wrote. For Jonson, these
genres were interactive and mutually affirming, necessary for
negotiating the tempestuous politics of early modern society, and
here some of the most renowned Jonson scholars provide a collection
of essays that discuss his use of genre. They present new
perspectives on many of Jonson s major works, from his epigrams and
epistles, through to his Roman tragedies and satirical plays like
Volpone. Other topics examined include Jonson s diverse
representations of monarchy, his ambiguous celebrations of European
commonwealths, his sexual politics, and his engagement with the
issues of republicanism. These essays represent the forefront of
critical thinking on Ben Jonson, and offer a timely reassessment of
the author s political life in Jacobean and Caroline Britain.
