Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Ben Jonson's Plays, Vol. 1 of 2 The greatest of English dramatists except Shakespeare, the first literary dictator and poet-laureate, a writer of verse, prose, satire, and criticism who most potently of all the men of his time affected the subsequent course of English letters: such was Ben Jonson, and as such his strong personality as sumes an interest to us almost unparalleled, at least in his age. Ben Jonson came of the stock that was centuries after to give to the world Thomas Carlyle; for Jonson's grandfather was of Annandale, over the Solway, whence he migrated to England. Jonson's father lost his estate under Queen Mary, having been cast into prison and forfeited. He entered the church, but died a month before his illustrious son was born, leaving his widow and child in poverty. Jonson's birthplace was Westminster, and the time of his birth early in 1573. He was thus nearly ten years Shakespeare's junior, and less well off, if a trifle better born. But Jonson did not profit even by this slight advantage. His mother married beneath her, a wright or bricklayer, and Jonson was for a time apprenticed to the trade. As a youth he attracted the attention of the famous antiquary, William Camden, then usher at Westminster School, and there the poet laid the solid foundations of his classical learning. Jonson always held Camden in veneration, acknowledging that to him he owed. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Herford Most reverend head, to whom I owe All that I am in arts, all that I know. But this congenial life ended, and Jonson ntered the unromantic business Of his step father. It has, indeed, been assumed that his course from the Westminster schoolroom to the bricklayer's yard, near Charing Cross, led him by way of Cambridge; and academic com mentators have listened favourably to the theory the most scholarly of English poets was quite a stranger to the English Universities.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Ben Jonson, Vol. 1 of 3: Edited With Introd, and Notes by Brinsley Nicholson and C. H. Herford This comedy was produced, at the Hope Theatre (on the Bank-side), October 31, 1614, and acted, as Jonson tells us, by the Lady Elizabeth's servants. The Lady Elizabeth was the daughter of James I.; she married the ElectorPalatine, and saw many evil days both as a wife and mother: her descendants have been more fortunate, and are now on the throne of Great Britain. The Biographia Dramatica speaks of an edition of this play in quarto, 1614. I know of no earlier one than the folio, 1631-1641, nor do I believe that it ever appeared in that form. In the title-page, it is said that it was dedicated in the year 1614 to King James; but by this expression no more is meant than that it was addressed to him in an occasional prologue, written for the purpose; though this probably led to the mistake just noticed. When this play was printed James was dead. Bartholomew Fair was always a favourite with the people: this is easily accounted for from the ridicule with which it covers the Puritans.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Works of Ben Jonson, Vol. 5 of 9: With Notes Critical and Explanatory, and a Biographical Memoir In noticing the date of Barflwlomew Fair, I had occasion to ob serve that Jonson appeared to concern himself little, if at all, with the printing of the plays in the present collection; and the Devil is an Ass, as well as the Staple of News, furnishes no slight proof of it. In the folio, 1616, which the author certainly revised, he is altogether Sparing of his marginal directions, while the dramas just mentioned abound in them. They are, however, of the most trite and trifling nature; they tell nothing that is not told in action, and generally in the same words, and are, upon the whole, such a worth less incumbrance on the page, that the reader will thank me for discarding them altogether. They bear no trace of the poet's hand. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
