Set in Ancient Rome, "Poetaster" offers one of the first and most
subtle statements in English of the Augustan cultural ideal. Jonson
contrasts Augustus' wise rule with an English polity dominated
(like the stage) by malice, intrigue and envy. This text examines
these different strands so skilfully interwoven by Jonson, and
argues for a reassessment of "Poetaster" as one of the most
ideologically interesting of all early modern plays. The
accompanying explanatory notes guide the reader through the
personal and political illusions which gave the play its immediate
satirical impact. -- .
