In this series, a contemporary poet selects and introduces a poet
of the past. By their selection of verses and by the personal and
critical reactions they express in their introductions, the
selectors offer a passionate and accessible introduction to some of
the greatest poets in history. Ben Jonson (1572-1637) was born in
London, and became a leading poet, playwright and essayist of the
Elizabethan age. In 1598he killed an actor in a duel but escaped
hanging by pleading benefit of the clergy, and by 1616 had
re-established enough Court favour to be awarded a pension by James
I - in effect making him the first Poet Laureate.
