1816. Part Five of Nine. Dramatist, poet, scholar and writer of
court masques, Ben Jonson was the leading literary figure during
the reign of King James I. Jonson was known as an avid scholar of
Latin and Greek, and his mastery of the classics, the high-spirited
buoyancy of his plays and the brilliance of his language have
earned him a reputation as one of the great playwrights in English
literature. The Devil is an Ass was a comedy of less value and it
was the failure of this play that caused Jonson to give over
writing for the public stage for a period of nearly ten years. But,
the old poet returned to the stage, producing, amongst others, The
Staple of News and The New Inn. See other titles by this author
