Book excerpt: Excerpt from Satire in the Early English Drama Though numerous references have been made to the satirical character of many of the plays of our Early English Drama before 1600, no work exists which shows in detail this informal dramatic satire. It is hoped that this dissertation will be useful with its instances of early informal satire taken from the miracles, moralities, and interludes of the period 1450 to 1600 in showing: (1) the place satire holds in the early drama - a place to become exceedingly prominent in the Elizabethan Drama, especially in the plays of Ben Jonson; (2) the relation of this satire to the subject-matter and the purpose of the plays; (3) the methods, tone, type, and the objects of attack of this satire; (4) a reflection of the manners or social traits of the period; (5) a comparison of this informal dramatic satire with the informal satire occurring in other literary forms of the period, and with the informal dramatic satire of Elizabethan times. The writer is indebted to the following excellent teachers: E. L. Beck, B. A. Eisenlohr. E. S. Ingraham, E. H. McNeal, W. S. Elden, A. H. Hodgman, and C. S. Duncan; and owes special acknowledgment to S. C. Derby, Professor of Latin, J. R. Taylor, Professor of English, and J. V. Denney, Dean of the College of Arts. Professor Denney has been exceedingly kind and has read the first and last drafts of my dissertation. Professor G. H. McKnight has been helpful in proposing a subject, in directing my efforts, and in giving encouragement - such as only those who have been in his classes can appreciate. Many thanks are due also to the Dean of Women of Ohio State University - Caroline M. Breyfogle. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from English Satire and Satirists The word satire, then, has more than one meaning. As there is a Comic Spirit, so there is a Satiric Spirit; and as there is a form of the drama we call Comedy, so there is a form of verse we call Satire. But as the Comic Spirit may manifest itself in the novel or the poem no less than in the comedy, so the Satiric Spirit may appear in prose as well as in verse, and both in verse and in prose it assumes manifold shapes. There are satirical novels and tales, essays and allegories. There are satirical lyrics and even satirical odes; and Paradise Lost itself: contains fragments of satire. What may be called the classical satire of England is derived from the satire of the Latin poets; and as the Latin satirists adopted the hexameter, so their English imitators used the English equivalent, the heroic couplet. When Hall wrote the often-quoted lines, I first adventure: follow me who list, And be the second English satirist.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. 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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Knight of the Burning Pestle: A Play Literary History. The first edition of The Knight of the Burning Pestle appeared in quarto form in 1613. The title page gives no clue as to authorship, but states merely that the play, entitled "The famous Historie of the Knight of the Burning Pestle," was "printed for Walter Burre, and is to be sold at the signe of the Crane in Paules Church-yard." This first edition, however, contains the dedication of the play to Robert Keysar, and thus throws some light upon the date of composition. The play seems not to have been a success on the stage at its first appearance; perhaps its playful satire may have given offence to the London citizen. A revival, however, took place in 1635, and the play was acted at the court of Queen Henrietta. In Sir Henry Herbert's MSS. we read "The 28 Feb. [1636] The Knight of the Burning Pestle played by the Q[een's] men at St James." Two quarto editions appeared in 1635, and from their title-pages we learn that it was "acted by her Majesties Servants at the Private House in Drury Lane. The author's names were now given: Written by {Francis Beaumont and John Fletcher} Gent." About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Marriage of Wit and Wisdom: An Ancient Interlude; To Which Are Added Illustrations of Shakespeare and the Early English Drama I will most thankful be; and thanks, to men Of noble minds, is honourable meed. And at the same time that a noble example is given to the owners of literary treasures throughout the country, the discovery of the ancient interlude of the Contract of a Marriage between Wit and Wisdom affords a striking lesson to literary antiquaries to pause before they substantiate conjectures and probabilities as matters of fact, and hesitate at assertions respecting the identity or non-existence of mss. And rare books. We are constantly in the habit of seeing a notice to the effect that such a book or ms. Is unique. Time passes, and two or three other Copies are exhibited. In fact, no book can be safely SO designated, and it is equally dangerous to assert that any particular work never existed, merely because no Copy of it happens to be known. We have by no means come to the conclusion of our literary discoveries, which of late years have been too numerous and important, overthrowing theories and correcting errors, not to teach additional caution even to the most scrupulously careful. It must be remembered that publications of an antiquarian character are more peculiarly subject to slight mistakes, and Should there fore be visited with some allowance for their liability to error.

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 tri e 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.
