1816. Part One 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. This volume contains Memoirs of Jonson and his first
important play, Every Man in His Humour, which featured his friend
Shakespeare in the cast. See other titles by this author available
from Kessinger Publishing.
1816. Part Two 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. To exhibit the follies of men Jonson created the comedy
of humors which are fully developed in Every Man out of His Humour
and Cynthia's Revels. By caricaturing Marston in Every Man out of
His Humour he became part in the stage quarrel, in which his two
plays, Cynthia's Revels and The Poetaster, were to figure
prominently. See other titles by this author available from
Kessinger Publishing.
1816. Part Three 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. Sejanus is a tragedy in which is told with
discriminating taste the story of the haughty favorite of Tiberius
with his tragical overthrow. In stressing the arrogance and fall of
Sejanus, Jonson was influenced by the medieval conception of
tragedy still surviving in the popular Mirror for Magistrates. The
play was not a success. Volpone or The Fox Volpone restored
Jonson's popularity, which had been temporarily dimmed by the poor
reception accorded Sejanus. The subject is a struggle of wit
applied to chicanery; from the villainous Fox himself, his rascally
servant Mosca, Voltore (the vulture), Corbaccio and Corvino (the
big and the little raven), to Sir Politic Would-be and the rest,
there is scarcely a virtuous character in the play. The Silent
Woman is a gigantic farce. The whole comedy hinges on a huge joke,
played by a heartless nephew on his misanthropic uncle, who is
induced to take to himself a wife, young, fair, and warranted
silent, but who, in the end, turns out neither silent nor a woman
at all. See other titles by this author available from Kessinger
Publishing.
1816. Part Eight 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. Jonson was appointed court poet in 1605, and became a
writer of court masques-elaborate spectacles that involved music,
dancing, and pageantry. The book of Epigrams contains, in the poets
own words, the ripest of his studies. Underwoods is part of
Jonson's nondramatic poetry. See other titles by this author
available from Kessinger Publishing.
1816. Part Four of Nine. Dramatist, poet, scholar and writer of
court masques, Ben Jonson was the leading literary figure during

literature. Among his major plays are the comedies are The
Alchemist and Bartholomew Fair. See other titles by this author

Matter; Horace, Of The Art Of Poetry; The English Grammar; Leges

to the very old age and scarcity of this book, many of the pages
may be hard to read due to the blurring of the original text.
1816. Part Seven 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. Jonson was appointed court poet in 1605, and became a
writer of court masques-elaborate spectacles that involved music,
dancing, and pageantry. Many of his early masques were created in
partnership with architect Inigo Jones, who designed elaborate
stage sets for the performances. Among the most attractive of his
masques maybe mentioned the Masque of Blackness, the Masque of
Beauty, and the Masque of Queens. See other titles by this author

of a Tub, the last doubtless revised from a much earlier comedy.

Shepherd, was found as a fragment among his papers after his death.

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

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
