Originally published in 1929, this volume contains Ben Jonson's incomplete play The Sad Shepherd, or A Tale of Robin Hood. It first appeared in the second volume of Jonson's works in 1641 and the text for this edition was largely based on that version, with some modernisation of spelling and punctuation.

Henry Hallam: "The pastoral drama of the Sad Shepherd is the best testimony to the poetical imagination of Jonson. Superior in originality, liveliness, and beauty to the Faithful Shepherdess of Fletcher, it reminds us rather, in language and imagery, of the Midsummer Night's Dream; and perhaps no other poetry has come so near to that of Shakespeare" Literature of Europe (1837-39)

Excerpt from Ben Jonson's Sad Shepherd: With Waldron's Continuation The Sad Shepherd is not one of the great works upon which Jonson's Titanic reputation rests. It is, as a rule, little mentioned by critics, for it stands at a disadvantage in two important respects. In the first place, it is of little use for the purpose of illustrating those peculiar qualities, in virtue of which its author holds a position of his own in the motley company of Elizabethan playwrights. In the second, it has come down to us in a fragmentary state. As a consequence it probably finds few readers beyond professed students of Jonson, or such individual eccentrics as the present editor, who happen to take an interest in pastoral poetry as such. If, however, it bears little trace of the robust genius that portrayed the Alchemist and the Fox, it yet remains the most considerable achievement of that other Jonson, the delicacy of whose lyric utterance contrasts so strangely with the burly presence of the laureate. Mr Swinburne has very truly remarked that No work of Ben Jonson sis more amusing and agreeable to read, as none is more nobly graceful in expression or more excellent in simplicity of style. Editions. After Jonson's death on August 6, 1687, his works were collected and printed in two small folio volumes with the date 1640. The first of these was a reprint of the original folio of 1616, the second was composed of new matter. We find an entry in the Stationer's Register referring to this venture on March 20, 1639/40.

Apart from two tragedies, Sejanus and Catiline, that largely failed to impress Renaissance audiences, Jonson's work for the public theatres was in comedy. These plays vary in some respects. The minor early plays, particularly those written for boy players, present somewhat looser plots and less-developed characters than those written later, for adult companies. Already in the plays which were his salvos in the Poet's War, he displays the keen eye for absurdity and hypocrisy that marks his best-known plays; in these early efforts, however, plot mostly takes second place to variety of incident and comic set-pieces. They are, also, notably ill-tempered. Thomas Davies called Poetaster "a contemptible mixture of the serio-comic, where the names of Augustus Caesar, Maecenas, Virgil, Horace, Ovid, and Tibullus, are all sacrificed upon the altar of private resentment." Another early comedy in a different vein, The Case is Altered, is markedly similar to Shakespeare's romantic comedies in its foreign setting, emphasis on genial wit, and love-plot. Henslowe's diary indicates that Jonson had a hand in numerous other plays, including many in genres such as English history with which he is not otherwise associated.
