While most critical writing on Jonson concentrates on the plays,
poems or masques seen in isolation, this title, first published in
1981, ranges across the genres to explore Jonson's vision as a
whole. The author points to the inner connections that make of the
rich variety of Jonson's writing a single coherent body of work. We
see Jonson exploring the relations between culture and society, the
difficulties of ideal virtue in a far from ideal world, and above
all the problems of art itself. Combining a wide-ranging discussion
of Jonson's interests with a detailed examination of his major
works, this book provides a balanced critical introduction to one
of the most complex and fascinating figures in English Literature.
