Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Every Man in His Humour" by Ben Jonson is a classic Elizabethan comedy that offers a humorous yet incisive portrayal of London society in the early 17th century. Set in the bustling city of London, the play follows the lives of various characters from different social backgrounds as they navigate the complexities of urban life. At the center of the narrative is the character of Edward Knowell, a young gentleman who arrives in London seeking adventure and excitement. Through his encounters with a colorful cast of characters, including the brash and boastful Captain Bobadill, the crafty and conniving Kno'well, and the eccentric and philosophical Justice Clement, Jonson explores themes of social hierarchy, ambition, and self-discovery. Through witty dialogue, clever wordplay, and exaggerated characterizations, Jonson offers a satirical commentary on the quirks and foibles of his contemporaries. The play is filled with comedic misunderstandings, farcical situations, and humorous exchanges, all of which serve to entertain audiences while also shedding light on the absurdities of human behavior.

Download or read book Imitation and Contamination of the Classics in the Comedies of Ben Jonson written by Tom Harrison and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2022-10-12 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book focuses on the influence of classical authors on Ben Jonson’s dramaturgy, with particular emphasis on the Greek and Roman playwrights and satirists. It illuminates the interdependence of the aspects of Jonson’s creative personality by considering how classical performance elements, including the Aristophanic ‘Great Idea,’ chorus, Terentian/Plautine performative strategies, and ‘performative’ elements from literary satire, manifest themselves in the structuring and staging of his plays. This fascinating exploration contributes to the ‘performative turn’ in early modern studies by reframing Jonson’s classicism as essential to his dramaturgy as well as his erudition. The book is also a case study for how the early modern education system’s emphasis on imitative-contaminative practices prepared its students, many of whom became professional playwrights, for writing for a theatre that had a similar emphasis on recycling and recombining performative tropes and structures.

Book excerpt: Benjamin Jonson (c. 11 June 1572 - c. 16 August 1637) was an English playwright and poet, whose artistry exerted a lasting impact upon English poetry and stage comedy. He popularised the comedy of humours. He is best known for the satirical plays Every Man in His Humour (1598), Volpone, or The Fox (c. 1606), The Alchemist (1610) and Bartholomew Fair (1614) and for his lyric and epigrammatic poetry. "He is generally regarded as the second most important English dramatist, after William Shakespeare, during the reign of James I." Jonson was a classically educated, well-read and cultured man of the English Renaissance with an appetite for controversy (personal and political, artistic and intellectual) whose cultural influence was of unparalleled breadth upon the playwrights and the poets of the Jacobean era (1603-1625) and of the Caroline era (1625-1642). Jonson was a towering literary figure, and his influence was enormous for he has been described as 'One of the most vigorous minds that ever added to the strength of English literature'. Before the English Civil War, the "Tribe of Ben" touted his importance, and during the Restoration Jonson's satirical comedies and his theory and practice of "humour characters" (which are often misunderstood; see William Congreve's letters for clarification) was extremely influential, providing the blueprint for many Restoration comedies. John Aubrey wrote of Jonson in "Brief Lives." By 1700 Jonson's status began to decline. In the Romantic era, Jonson suffered the fate of being unfairly compared and contrasted to Shakespeare, as the taste for Jonson's type of satirical comedy decreased. Jonson was at times greatly appreciated by the Romantics, but overall he was denigrated for not writing in a Shakespearean vein. (wikipedia.org)
