Excerpt from Studies in Ben Jonson Neither is of course satisfactory from our modern point of View, though here we have to be careful in our judgment, since we know that what was apparently the final and annotated version perished in the fire of 1623. As to accuracy, I cannot see that either text has greatly the advantage of the other. In the case of particular passages one would cast one's vote now for the one, now for the other, and often refuse to vote at all. This may be said for the Folio that occasionally one feels certain that an inferiority in accuracy was the price deliberately paid for a desired improvement in expression. Emphatic corroboration of this view as to the authority of the 12mo is to be found in the poem To the Queen on her Birthday, above, p. 97. The 12mo tells us in the last line that the queen was one-and-twenty; the Folio that she was two-and-twenty. Moreover, the Folio adds a stanza not to be found in the other version, and distributes the stanzas among the Muses. What this means is of course fairly obvious. Jonson wrote the song in the form found in the 12mo and in the following year revised it. Benson got hold of the earlier version.

Excerpt from Ben Jonson and Shakespeare Now if this statement is intended to mean (and I can assign no other reasonable significance to the words) that we know more about the life of Shakspere of Strat ford than we know about that of any poet contemporary with him, there is an audacity about it which is really quite sublime; indeed the proverbial one step between the sublime and the ridiculous seems here to have entirely disappeared.

Excerpt from A Critical Examination of the Poetic Genius of Ben Jonson In asserting that this prologue touches with spirit as well as with humour on the defects and absurdities of the old stage, 'that Lyly, Kyd, and others are evidently pointed at, Giflord is surely mistaken and every impartial reader will willingly admit that Jonson is speaking of his own times, when he says that he loved the old stage not so much as to dare serve the ill customs 'of the age, i. E. The agc'in which he lived. That this must be the case follows from, the unmistakable allusion to Shakespeare's historical plays, representing th ar of the roses, of which no less than four plays (richard III. 1593, Richard II. 1594 and Henry IV. In two parts 1598) had been written and performed, when, Every man in hjs humour was acted on the stage. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Ben Jonson's Every Man in His Humour A complete edition of Ben Jonson's Works by Professor C. H. Herford and the present editor has long been in preparation; this edition of Every Man in bi: Humour is therefore in the nature of a pioneer volume. Three objects have been kept steadily in view in producing it - to print the authoritative text; to solve the problem of its date and composition; to illustrate its literary relations and its faithful picture of contemporary London. The critical apparatus concentrates on the early issues and so presents, unencumbered, the minuter variants of the 1640 Folio changes of spelling and punctuation, which, in part at least, are Jonson's. Few conjectures are recorded, for the text is too sound to need any; and it seemed futile to notice such trivialities as Gifford's occasional expansion of the contracted z and o'. Jonson used them side by side with the fuller forms, and the precisian who meddles with them is not even precise. Mr. H. B. Wheatley's edition of the play has been consulted for its notes on London topography. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

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.

Excerpt from Ben Jonson and the Classical School The characteristics of Jonson as the exponent of the con servative spirit in literature in an age conspicuous for its passionate love of novelty are somewhat these: an unusual acquaintance with the literature of Greece and Rome, a hold ing of the prose writers and poets of antiquity, to employ the happy phrase of the late Mr. J ohn Addington Symonds, in solution in his Spacious memory, and a marvelous ability to pour them plastically forth into the mould of thought a keen appreciation of the principles which lie at the root of classical literature, with an intelligent recognition and a liberal interpretation of those principles in their adaptation to the needs of contemporary English conditions. The rhetorician in J onson was alike his distinction and his greatest limitation. It was this which gave him an ever-present sense of an inspir ing design, whether it was in the construction of a complete play or in the selection and ordering of the words of a single clause. These more general characteristics of the classicist will be recognized at once as J onson's but even the specific qualities that mark the coming age of English classicism are his. We have already remarked J onson's fondness for satire and criticism, and his exceeding use of that species of applied poetry called occasional verse. Restriction in the range of subject is always attended bya corresponding restriction ir yle and form, and we are prepared to find in Jonson's occajional verse a strong tendency to precise and pointed antithetical diction, and a somewhat conventionalized and restricted metri cal form. If we will look at Jonson's prose we shall find other notes only less marked of the coming classical supremacy, in his slightly Latinized vocabulary and in his occasional preference for abstract over concrete expression.
