Book excerpt: Excerpt from English Elements in Jonson's Early Comedy Several years ago I conceived the theory that Jonson was a much more sympathetic student of English literature than has commonly been supposed. In studying the problem, however, I have become convinced that his indebtedness was less to specific works used as sources than to certain specific trends in English literature with which he was thoroughly in accord. The present study is an attempt to follow out that idea. In view of the multitudinous phases of Jonson's work, as of all Elizabethan literature, it has proved convenient, even necessary, to limit my field, and the period of early comedies seems to furnish the best basis for the study. Not only do these plays form a fairly isolated group in Jonson's work, a group significant in the development of his peculiar literary powers and of his characteristic type of comedy, but they belong to a decade in English literature so decided and revolutionary in its trends that Jonson's relation to contemporary letters can be more easily tested in them than at any other period of his work. The closing decade of the sixteenth century, with its varied tendencies, its literary revolution, its plasticity, and its nice balance between free criticism and easy creation, offered a chance for the development of individual force such as perhaps no other like period of the drama offered, and yet scarcely allowed any writer to escape the impress of the time. Jonson's relation to the movements of English literature at the end of the sixteenth century is the primary problem of this study, though at the same time I have attempted to trace the trends in his work as far back as they are discernible. The general point seems fairly clear that Jonson actually studied English literature and used the work of predecessors according to the Renaissance formulae for imitation somewhat as he imitated Latin literature but less closely of course. Assuredly he was observant of the trends and conventions in English literature and readily utilized its types so far as they were suitable for comedy. It is my hope that I have presented enough evidence to throw some light on the relation of Jonson to his fellows and on the significance of literary trends for his work.

This book was released on 2017-03-31 with total page 347 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this wide-ranging and ambitiously conceived Research Companion, contributors explore Shakespeare’s relationship to the classic in two broad senses. The essays analyze Shakespeare’s specific debts to classical works and weigh his classicism’s likeness and unlikeness to that of others in his time; they also evaluate the effects of that classical influence to assess the extent to which it is connected with whatever qualities still make Shakespeare, himself, a classic (arguably the classic) of modern world literature and drama. The first sense of the classic which the volume addresses is the classical culture of Latin and Greek reading, translation, and imitation. Education in the canon of pagan classics bound Shakespeare together with other writers in what was the dominant tradition of English and European poetry and drama, up through the nineteenth and even well into the twentieth century. Second—and no less central—is the idea of classics as such, that of books whose perceived value, exceeding that of most in their era, justifies their protection against historical and cultural change. The volume’s organizing insight is that as Shakespeare was made a classic in this second, antiquarian sense, his work’s reception has more and more come to resemble that of classics in the first sense—of ancient texts subject to labored critical study by masses of professional interpreters who are needed to mediate their meaning, simply because of the texts’ growing remoteness from ordinary life, language, and consciousness. The volume presents overviews and argumentative essays about the presence of Latin and Greek literature in Shakespeare’s writing. They coexist in the volume with thought pieces on the uses of the classical as a historical and pedagogical category, and with practical essays on the place of ancient classics in today’s Shakespearean classrooms.
