These selected paragraphs distill the contents and give you a quick look inside: From entries in Henslowes Diary, a species of theatrical account book which has been handed down to us, we know that Jonson was connected with the Admirals men; for he borrowed 4 pounds of Henslowe, July 28, 1597, paying back 3s. 9d. on the same day on account of his share (in what is not altogether clear); while later, on December 3, of the same year, Henslowe advanced 20s. to him upon a book which he showed the plot unto the company which he promised to deliver unto the company at Christmas next. ... Francis Meres-well known for his Comparative Discourse of our English Poets with the Greek, Latin, and Italian Poets, printed in 1598, and for his mention therein of a dozen plays of Shakespeare by title-accords to Ben Jonson a place as one of our best in tragedy, a matter of some surprise, as no known tragedy of Jonson from so early a date has come down to us. ...Whether this story is true or not, certain it is that Every Man in His Humour was accepted by Shakespeares company and acted for the first time in 1598, with Shakespeare taking a part. ...This play as a fabric of plot is a very slight affair; but as a satirical picture of the manners of the time, proceeding by means of vivid caricature, couched in witty and brilliant dialogue and sustained by that righteous indignation which must lie at the heart of all true satire-as a realisation, in short, of the classical ideal of comedy-there had been nothing like Jonsons comedy since the days of Aristophanes. ...In Hymenaei, The Masque of Queens, Love Freed from Ignorance, Lovers made Men, Pleasure Reconciled to Virtue, and many more will be found Jonsons aptitude, his taste, his poetry and inventiveness in these by-forms of the drama; while in The Masque of Christmas, and The Gipsies Metamorphosed especially, is discoverable that power of broad comedy which, at court as well as in the city, was not the least element of Jonsons contemporary popularity.

Book excerpt: If thou beest more, thou art an understander, and then I trust thee. If thou art one that takest up, and but a pretender, beware of what hands thou receivest thy commodity; for thou wert never more fair in the way to be cozened, than in this age, in poetry, especially in plays: wherein, now the concupiscence of dances and of antics so reigneth, as to run away from nature, and be afraid of her, is the only point of art that tickles the spectators. But how out of purpose, and place, do I name art? When the professors are grown so obstinate contemners of it, and presumers on their own naturals, as they are deriders of all diligence that way, and, by simple mocking at the terms, when they understand not the things, think to get off wittily with their ignorance

Download or read book Every Man In His Humour Annotated Classic Edition written by Ben Jonson and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2021-04-02 with total page 362 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ben Jonson's career began in 1597 when he held a fixed engagement in the "Admiral's Men", and although he was unsuccessful as an actor, his literary talent was apparent and he began writing original plays for the troupe. Jonson had a knack for absurdity and hypocrisy, a trait that made him immensely popular in the 17th century Renaissance period. It is known that Shakespeare's company produced several of Jonson's plays, Shakespeare himself appearing in "Every Man in His Humour" (1598). The play was Jonson's first major success, written in the style of "humour plays", a genre of comedy originated by George Chapman. In it, Jonson targets some of his favorite topics for satire: education, love, poetry, and social classes. As each major character represents a different issue, the play transforms into a depiction of everyday Renaissance life, and a scathing social commentary on the problems that plagued it.
