Download or read book The Poems of Ben Jonson written by Tom Cain and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-11-29 with total page 1254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ben Jonson, who was with Shakespeare and Marlowe one of three principal playwrights of his age, was also one of its most original and influential poets. Known best for the country house poem ‘To Penshurst’ and his moving elegy ‘On my First Son’, his work inspired the whole generation of seventeenth-century poets who declared themselves the ‘Sons of Ben’. This edition brings his three major verse publications, Epigrams (1616), The Forest (1616), and Underwood (1641) together with his large body of uncollected poems to create the largest collection of Jonson’s verse that has been published. It thus gives readers a comprehensive view of the wide range of his achievement, from satirical epigrams through graceful lyrics to tender epitaphs. Though he is often seen as the preeminent English poet of the plain style, Jonson employed a wealth of topical and classical allusion and a compressed syntax which mean his poetry can require as much annotation for the modern reader as that of his friend John Donne. This edition not only provides comprehensive explanation and contextualization aimed at student and non-specialist readers alike, but presents the poems in a modern spelling and punctuation that brings Jonson’s poetry to life.

Book excerpt: Explore the Life of a Legend... As poet laureate at the court of King James the First, Ben Jonson's literary success was the result of a life-long drive for recognition.Taken out of Westminster School against his will to assist his brick-layer step-father, Jonson compensated by reading so widely in the classics that he could brag 'he was better versed and knew more in Greek and Latin than all the poets in England'. Endowed with an out-sized, contentious personality, he killed a fellow-actor in a duel, while his pointed satire and his self-representation as the English Horace initiated "the War of the Theatres" with playwrights John Marston and Thomas Dekker. In his prologues, he carried on a playful, running battle with his great rival, Shakespeare, who incorporated Jonson's vein of humours satire into his own romantic comedy. In his later years, his personal magnetism gathered around him a younger generation of 'Sons of Ben' who indulged in wit-combats and wine at the Mermaid Tavern.Jonson's Volpone or The Fox, The Alchemistand Bartholomew Fair rank among the best, most-frequently anthologized comedies of the Jacobean period. His inventive court masques earned him a pension from King James. His classically-inspired poems of praise and blame initiated a new mode of 'plain-style' poetry imitated by the Cavalier poets. The publication in 1616 of his literary Works gave new dignity to stage-plays and inspired Shakespeare's fellows to collect his comedies, tragedies, and histories into the 1623 Folio edition. In the Restoration period, Jonson's comedy Epicoene or The Silent Woman would be singled out by John Dryden as an early pattern for the comedy of wit.Utilising his charming personality, Jonson was able to impress a broader audience through his various works, making an impact so great that we still revere him today. Ben Jonson: A Literary Life re-evaluates the impulses behind Jonson's literary life and provides new evidence about his creative transformation of Elizabethan dramatic models, offering insights not available in other studies. Praise for Ben Jonson: A Literary Life 'This would be the first book to recommend to an intelligent student interested in Jonson's life.' - Robert C. Evans 'This is a wise and mature book--one that tries to do Jonson the justice of taking him whole.' - Robert C. Evans W. David Kay is an Emeritus Professor of English at the University of Illinois and is known for his in-depth and engrossing work.
