Still to be neat, still to be dressed, As you were going to a feast; Still to be powdered, still perfumed; Lady, it is to be presumed, Though art's hid causes are not found, All is not sweet, all is not sound. Give me a look, give me a face That makes simplicity a grace; Robes loosely flowing, hair as free: Such sweet neglect more taketh me Than all the adulteries of art; They strike mine eyes, but not my heart.

A contemporary of William Shakespeare, he is best known for his satirical plays, particularly Volpone, The Alchemist, and Bartholomew Fair, which are considered his best, and his lyric poems. A man of vast reading and a seemingly insatiable appetite for controversy, Jonson had an unparalleled breadth of influence on Jacobean and Caroline playwrights and poets. By summer 1597, Jonson had a fixed engagement in the Admiral's Men, then performing under Philip Henslowe's management at The Rose. John Aubrey reports, on uncertain authority, that Jonson was not successful as an actor; whatever his skills as an actor, he was evidently more valuable to the company as a writer. By this time Jonson had begun to write original plays for the Admiral's Men; in 1598 he was mentioned by Francis Meres in his Palladis Tamia as one of "the best for tragedy." None of his early tragedies survives, however. An undated comedy, The Case is Altered, may be his earliest surviving play. In 1597 a play which he co-wrote with Thomas Nashe, The Isle of Dogs, was suppressed after causing great offence. Arrest warrants for Jonson and Nashe were issued by Queen Elizabeth I's so-called interrogator, Richard Topcliffe. Jonson was jailed in Marshalsea Prison and charged with "Leude and mutynous behavior", while Nashe managed to escape to Great Yarmouth. Two of the actors, Gabriel Spenser and Robert Shaw, were also imprisoned. A year later, Jonson was again briefly imprisoned, this time in Newgate Prison, for killing Gabriel Spenser in a duel on 22 September 1598 in Hogsden Fields (today part of Hoxton). Tried on a charge of manslaughter, Jonson pleaded guilty but was released by benefit of clergy, a legal ploy through which he gained leniency by reciting a brief bible verse (the neck-verse), forfeiting his 'goods and chattels' and being branded on his left thumb. While in gaol Jonson converted to Catholicism, possibly through the influence of fellow-prisoner Father Thomas Wright, a Jesuit priest. In 1598 Jonson produced his first great success, Every Man in His Humour, capitalising on the vogue for humorous plays which George Chapman had begun with An Humorous Day's Mirth. William Shakespeare was among the first actors to be cast. Jonson followed this in 1599 with Every Man out of His Humour, a pedantic attempt to imitate Aristophanes. It is not known whether this was a success on stage, but when published it proved popular and went through several editions. Jonson's other work for the theatre in the last years of Elizabeth I's reign was marked by fighting and controversy. Cynthia's Revels was produced by the Children of the Chapel Royal at Blackfriars Theatre in 1600. It satirised both John Marston, who Jonson believed had accused him of lustfulness, possibly in Histrio-Mastix, and Thomas Dekker. Jonson attacked the two poets again in 1601's Poetaster. Dekker responded with Satiromastix, subtitled "the untrussing of the humorous poet". The final scene of this play, whilst certainly not to be taken at face value as a portrait of Jonson, offers a caricature that is recognisable from Drummond's report -- boasting about himself and condemning other poets, criticising performances of his plays, and calling attention to himself in any available way. This "War of the Theatres" appears to have ended with reconciliation on all sides. Jonson collaborated with Dekker on a pageant welcoming James I to England in 1603 although Drummond reports that Jonson called Dekker a rogue. Marston dedicated The Malcontent to Jonson and the two collaborated with Chapman on Eastward Ho, a 1605 play whose anti-Scottish sentiment briefly landed both authors in jail.

David Bevington: The Complete Works of Ben Jonson

Ben Jonson was Shakespeare s great contemporary and [Jonson's canon] is not quite as large a corpus, but it s a pretty large corpus of plays, poems and some prose, as well. He lived longer than Shakespeare. He was a very argumentative, quarrelsome, contentious man. They got along apparently, as far as we know, pretty well, although there was a famous sense of the difference between the two of them, but he is the other major dramatic figure during Shakespeare s lifetime. So Ben was his great rival in the contemporary and he wrote Volpone, The Alchemist, Epicoene, Every Man In His Humor, Every Man Out of His Humor. These are plays which were very big on the London scene. Especially in the theater, texts keep changing. The truism of the post-structuralist: that there isn t a text, but texts. There s a plural--that they evolve through time. It is so true of the theater. A man writes a script or a woman writes a script, submits it to a company, they act it, they don t like this and that, they throw certain things out and amend it as it s going along. It gets published in various editions, then it gets performed by later generations, through the 19th and 20th and 21st centuries. Then you ve got a whole structure here, which is somehow based around a thing that s called Volpone. This is called the edition of Herford and Simpson, those are the two editors. It s available in eleven volumes, big, fat volumes. It s again, quite a corpus. It is a very substantial piece of work based very primarily on the great folio edition that he brought out first in 1616. There was a later folio in the 1640s and he did a lot of revising. The older school of method used to take the view that you should use the folio because that would seem to represent his final views and so on. But the folio is very literary, whereas the earlier texts are sometimes much more theatrical. He wanted to make them literary, because he thought of himself as a literary giant. He s preparing this text for his posterity and so on. But there are real questions now in terms of textual method and what you want and so on and there are arguments in favor of going back to these earlier editions as the basis for your work. So the text will actually be different. where as that earlier edition is very scholarly and it s not a user-friendly edition in terms of something available for graduates, undergraduates, even for people in the field. The learning in it is very scholarly. The old spelling means that you really have to love that and it s not one you d want to use for your classroom use or for theatrical use. So we re going to use modern spelling and introduce more, sort of glossing and terminology. We're just straightening out verbal and meaning difficulties in the text too and will try to aim at user-friendly for an audience that will include sort of the whole academic community. There are a number of things we are changing that will make it a very different edition. One is that we re now going to bring out an electronic edition, along with the print edition. So the electronic [edition] will be able to expand into having more extensive information about sources and textual problems, that sort of thing. We can also, if we want, include essays because an electronic edition can be open-ended; you can keep bringing stuff into it. So that s exciting. We re still piecing out what the electronic edition of this Jonson will be like, but obviously it offers opportunities for hypertext so that you can pull up the 1616 folio and put it side-by-side with an earlier quarto or also with your edited page. We will provide an old spelling edition of the text and you can compare that with the modern. There are lots of good illustrations about Jonson's costuming especially, you can pull up other commentaries, you'll just be able to work as they were in the library by putting things up on your screen. I'm hoping that that s what s going to happen. I assume that that's the case.

Prof. James Loxley - Ben Jonson's Road North

Professor James Loxley, Professor of Early Modern Literature, delivers his inaugural lecture entitled, "Ben Jonson's Road North" In July 1618, the poet and playwright Ben Jonson embarked on an enterprise that had been at least a year in the planning - an epic walk all the way from London to Edinburgh. In this lecture, Professor Loxley will look at what his companion's account can tell us about the motivations and meanings of Jonson's long walk to the north, and offer some reflections on what this new information on the journey can tell us about the culture and politics of the Stuart kingdoms in the decades after the union of the crowns. Recorded on 25 February 2014 at the University of Edinburgh's Old College.

Benjamin "Ben" Jonson (c. 11 June 1572 – 6 August 1637) was an English Renaissance dramatist, poet and actor. A contemporary of William Shakespeare, he is best known for his satirical plays, particularly Volpone, The Alchemist, and Bartholomew Fair, which are considered his best, and his lyric poems. A man of vast reading and a seemingly insatiable appetite for controversy, Jonson had an unparalleled breadth of influence on Jacobean and Caroline playwrights and poets.

Jonson claimed his family was of Scottish Border country descent, and this claim may have been supported by the fact that his coat of arms bears three spindles or rhombi, a device shared by a Borders family, the Johnstones of Annandale. His father died a month before Ben's birth, and his mother remarried two years later, to a master bricklayer. Jonson attended school in St. Martin's Lane, and was later paid for by a friend to go to Westminster School, where one of his teachers was William Camden. Jonson remained friendly with Camden, whose broad scholarship evidently influenced his own style, until the latter's death in 1623. On leaving, Jonson was once thought to have gone on to the University of Cambridge, but Jonson himself contradicts this, saying that he did not go to university, but was put to a trade, probably bricklaying, immediately: a legend recorded by Thomas Fuller indicates that he worked on a garden wall in Lincoln's Inn. He soon had enough of the trade and spent some time in the Low Countries as a volunteer with the regiments of Francis Vere. In conversations with poet William Drummond of Hawthornden, subsequently published as the Hawthornden Manuscripts, Jonson reports that while in the Netherlands he killed an opponent in single combat and stripped him of his weapons.

Quotes:

William Shakespeare: ...and the whole bloody thing in verse.::Ben Jonson: It's really not that difficult... if you try.::William Shakespeare: Oh, and have you ever tried? But soft! What light through yonder window breaks? It is the east, and Juliet is the sun...::Ben Jonson: You. Cannot. Play Romeo.::William Shakespeare: What! Why not? I'm perfect for the role. I'm perfect! I will not let that oaf Spencer have another go at one of my roles. No! Only Will Shakespeare can pump the life into Romeo's veins!... And his codpiece.

Ben Jonson: Politics? My play has nothing to do with politics. I-i-i-it's just a simple comedy.::Earl of Oxford: It showed your betters as fools who'd go through life barely managing to get food from plate to mouth were it not for the cleverness of their servants. All art is political, Jonson, otherwise it would just be decoration. And all artists have something to say, otherwise they'd make shoes. And you are not a cobbler, are you Jonson.

Young Earl of Oxford: [after sword gets knocked into young Robert Cecil's chess game] You were losing anyway.::Boy Robert Cecil: [had been playing alone] I was also winning!::Young Earl of Oxford: [tosses a piece back at Robert, who misses it] Really?

Prologue: Though our story is at an end, our poet's is not; for his monument is everliving. Not of stone but of verse. And it shall be remembered. As long as words are made of breath. And breath of life.

Ben Jonson: You are the soul of the age... Undeniable perfection that plagued my soul.

Robert Cecil: Plays are the work of the devil - born from a cesspool of plague, whoredom, thievery, fornication, and heresy.

Anne De Vere: You, your friends, your blasphemous theater have brought nothing but ruin and dishonor to this family.::Ben Jonson: Ruin? Dishonor? My lady, you, your family, even I, even Queen Elizabeth herself will be remembered solely because we had the honor to live whilst your husband put ink to paper.

Earl of Oxford: All art is political, Jonson. Otherwise it would just be decoration.

Jonson then leads the company in singing 'Sigh no more, ladies'. The company's drunkenness leads Shakespeare to recall scenes from Twelfth Night. Jonson's cousin Jane comes across the sleeping poet and tells him that she believed him dead; he assures her that he will live forever.

Famous quotes by Ben Jonson:

"Art hath an enemy called Ignorance."

"She is Venus when she smiles; / But she's Juno when she walks, / And Minerva when she talks."

"A woman, the more curious she is about her face, is commonly the more careless about her house"

"They say Princes learn no art truly, but the art of horsemanship. The reason is, the brave beast is no flatterer. He will throw a prince as soon as his groom."

"There is no greater hell than to be a prisoner of fear."

"Follow a shadow, it still flies you,"

"Drink to me only with thine eyes, And I will pledge with mine; Or leave a kiss but in the cup And I'll not look for wine"

"True happiness consists not in the multitude of friends, but in the worth and choice."

"Queen and huntress, chaste and fair, / Now the sun is laid to sleep, / Seated in thy silver chair, / State in wonted manner keep: / Hesperus entreats thy light, / Goddess, excellently bright."

"Drink today, and drown all sorrow; You shall perhaps not do it tomorrow; Best, while you have it, use your breath; There is no drinking after death"

"They that know no evil will suspect none."

"Ambition makes more trusty slaves than need."

"Honor's a good brooch to wear in a man's hat at all times."

"Weigh the meaning and look not at the words."

"He knows not his own strength that has not met adversity."

"Let them call it mischief: When it is past and prospered t'will be virtue."

"Drink to me only with thine eyes, And I will pledge with mine; Or leave a kiss but in the cup And I'll not look for wine."

"'Tis the common disease of all your musicians that they know no mean, to be entreated, either to begin or end."

"Good men are the stars, the planets of the ages wherein they live, and illustrate the times."

"This is the very womb and bed of enormity."

Ben Jonson

Still to be neat, still to be dressed, As you were going to a feast; Still to be powdered, still perfumed; Lady, it is to be presumed, Though art's hid causes are not found, All is not sweet, all is not sound. Give me a look, give me a face That makes simplicity a grace; Robes loosely flowing, hair as free: Such sweet neglect more taketh me Than all the adulteries of art; They strike mine eyes, but not my heart.

A contemporary of William Shakespeare, he is best known for his satirical plays, particularly Volpone, The Alchemist, and Bartholomew Fair, which are considered his best, and his lyric poems. A man of vast reading and a seemingly insatiable appetite for controversy, Jonson had an unparalleled breadth of influence on Jacobean and Caroline playwrights and poets. By summer 1597, Jonson had a fixed engagement in the Admiral's Men, then performing under Philip Henslowe's management at The Rose. John Aubrey reports, on uncertain authority, that Jonson was not successful as an actor; whatever his skills as an actor, he was evidently more valuable to the company as a writer. By this time Jonson had begun to write original plays for the Admiral's Men; in 1598 he was mentioned by Francis Meres in his Palladis Tamia as one of "the best for tragedy." None of his early tragedies survives, however. An undated comedy, The Case is Altered, may be his earliest surviving play. In 1597 a play which he co-wrote with Thomas Nashe, The Isle of Dogs, was suppressed after causing great offence. Arrest warrants for Jonson and Nashe were issued by Queen Elizabeth I's so-called interrogator, Richard Topcliffe. Jonson was jailed in Marshalsea Prison and charged with "Leude and mutynous behavior", while Nashe managed to escape to Great Yarmouth. Two of the actors, Gabriel Spenser and Robert Shaw, were also imprisoned. A year later, Jonson was again briefly imprisoned, this time in Newgate Prison, for killing Gabriel Spenser in a duel on 22 September 1598 in Hogsden Fields (today part of Hoxton). Tried on a charge of manslaughter, Jonson pleaded guilty but was released by benefit of clergy, a legal ploy through which he gained leniency by reciting a brief bible verse (the neck-verse), forfeiting his 'goods and chattels' and being branded on his left thumb. While in gaol Jonson converted to Catholicism, possibly through the influence of fellow-prisoner Father Thomas Wright, a Jesuit priest. In 1598 Jonson produced his first great success, Every Man in His Humour, capitalising on the vogue for humorous plays which George Chapman had begun with An Humorous Day's Mirth. William Shakespeare was among the first actors to be cast. Jonson followed this in 1599 with Every Man out of His Humour, a pedantic attempt to imitate Aristophanes. It is not known whether this was a success on stage, but when published it proved popular and went through several editions. Jonson's other work for the theatre in the last years of Elizabeth I's reign was marked by fighting and controversy. Cynthia's Revels was produced by the Children of the Chapel Royal at Blackfriars Theatre in 1600. It satirised both John Marston, who Jonson believed had accused him of lustfulness, possibly in Histrio-Mastix, and Thomas Dekker. Jonson attacked the two poets again in 1601's Poetaster. Dekker responded with Satiromastix, subtitled "the untrussing of the humorous poet". The final scene of this play, whilst certainly not to be taken at face value as a portrait of Jonson, offers a caricature that is recognisable from Drummond's report -- boasting about himself and condemning other poets, criticising performances of his plays, and calling attention to himself in any available way. This "War of the Theatres" appears to have ended with reconciliation on all sides. Jonson collaborated with Dekker on a pageant welcoming James I to England in 1603 although Drummond reports that Jonson called Dekker a rogue. Marston dedicated The Malcontent to Jonson and the two collaborated with Chapman on Eastward Ho, a 1605 play whose anti-Scottish sentiment briefly landed both authors in jail.

Ben Jonson was Shakespeare s great contemporary and [Jonson's canon] is not quite as large a corpus, but it s a pretty large corpus of plays, poems and some prose, as well. He lived longer than Shakespeare. He was a very argumentative, quarrelsome, contentious man. They got along apparently, as far as we know, pretty well, although there was a famous sense of the difference between the two of them, but he is the other major dramatic figure during Shakespeare s lifetime. So Ben was his great rival in the contemporary and he wrote Volpone, The Alchemist, Epicoene, Every Man In His Humor, Every Man Out of His Humor. These are plays which were very big on the London scene. Especially in the theater, texts keep changing. The truism of the post-structuralist: that there isn t a text, but texts. There s a plural--that they evolve through time. It is so true of the theater. A man writes a script or a woman writes a script, submits it to a company, they act it, they don t like this and that, they throw certain things out and amend it as it s going along. It gets published in various editions, then it gets performed by later generations, through the 19th and 20th and 21st centuries. Then you ve got a whole structure here, which is somehow based around a thing that s called Volpone. This is called the edition of Herford and Simpson, those are the two editors. It s available in eleven volumes, big, fat volumes. It s again, quite a corpus. It is a very substantial piece of work based very primarily on the great folio edition that he brought out first in 1616. There was a later folio in the 1640s and he did a lot of revising. The older school of method used to take the view that you should use the folio because that would seem to represent his final views and so on. But the folio is very literary, whereas the earlier texts are sometimes much more theatrical. He wanted to make them literary, because he thought of himself as a literary giant. He s preparing this text for his posterity and so on. But there are real questions now in terms of textual method and what you want and so on and there are arguments in favor of going back to these earlier editions as the basis for your work. So the text will actually be different. where as that earlier edition is very scholarly and it s not a user-friendly edition in terms of something available for graduates, undergraduates, even for people in the field. The learning in it is very scholarly. The old spelling means that you really have to love that and it s not one you d want to use for your classroom use or for theatrical use. So we re going to use modern spelling and introduce more, sort of glossing and terminology. We're just straightening out verbal and meaning difficulties in the text too and will try to aim at user-friendly for an audience that will include sort of the whole academic community. There are a number of things we are changing that will make it a very different edition. One is that we re now going to bring out an electronic edition, along with the print edition. So the electronic [edition] will be able to expand into having more extensive information about sources and textual problems, that sort of thing. We can also, if we want, include essays because an electronic edition can be open-ended; you can keep bringing stuff into it. So that s exciting. We re still piecing out what the electronic edition of this Jonson will be like, but obviously it offers opportunities for hypertext so that you can pull up the 1616 folio and put it side-by-side with an earlier quarto or also with your edited page. We will provide an old spelling edition of the text and you can compare that with the modern. There are lots of good illustrations about Jonson's costuming especially, you can pull up other commentaries, you'll just be able to work as they were in the library by putting things up on your screen. I'm hoping that that s what s going to happen. I assume that that's the case.

Professor James Loxley, Professor of Early Modern Literature, delivers his inaugural lecture entitled, "Ben Jonson's Road North" In July 1618, the poet and playwright Ben Jonson embarked on an enterprise that had been at least a year in the planning - an epic walk all the way from London to Edinburgh. In this lecture, Professor Loxley will look at what his companion's account can tell us about the motivations and meanings of Jonson's long walk to the north, and offer some reflections on what this new information on the journey can tell us about the culture and politics of the Stuart kingdoms in the decades after the union of the crowns. Recorded on 25 February 2014 at the University of Edinburgh's Old College.

To Celia "Drink to Me Only With Thine Eyes" By Ben Jonson
Ben Jonson (originally Benjamin Jonson /ˈdʒɒnsən/; c. 11 June 1572 – 6 August 1637) was an English playwright, poet, and literary critic of the seventeenth century, 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 Foxe (1605), The Alchemist (1610), and Bartholomew Fayre: A Comedy (1614), and for his lyric poetry; he is generally regarded as the second most important English dramatist, after William Shakespeare, during the reign of James I.[1] 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 influe...

His Excuse For Loving by Ben Jonson
Poetry (from the Greek poiesis — ποίησις — with a broad meaning of a "making", seen also in such terms as "hemopoiesis"; more narrowly, the making of poetry) is a form of literary art which uses aesthetic and rhythmic[1][2][3] qualities of language—such as phonaesthetics, sound symbolism, and metre—to evoke meanings in addition to, or in place of, the prosaic ostensible meaning. Poetry has a long history, dating back to the Sumerian Epic of Gilgamesh. Early poems evolved from folk songs such as the Chinese Shijing, or from a need to retell oral epics, as with the Sanskrit Vedas, Zoroastrian Gathas, and the Homeric epics, the Iliad and the Odyssey. Ancient attempts to define poetry, such as Aristotle's Poetics, focused on the uses of speech in rhetoric, drama, song and comedy. Later attempt...

Dryden vs Shadwell - a Poetic Duel FREE Audio Book
Dryden vs Shadwell - a Poetic DuelJohn DRYDEN (1631 - 1700) and Thomas SHADWELL (1642 - 1692)Throughout history there have been many creative artists whose fame depends largely on their association with a much greater artist. Such the case of Thomas Shadwell, poet and prolific writer of low brow comedies, who is today most famous as the butt of satire by one of greatest and most influential English poets, John Dryden. Shadwell and Dryden were at first colleagues and collaborators, but later fell out over some sharp divergences of opinion. In particular, Dryden disagreed with Shadwell's high estimation of Ben Jonson, and even more of the latter's claim to be be Jonson's artistic heir. The most celebrated product of this controversy was Dryden's satirical poem, Mac Flecknoe, in which he pres...

Ben Jonson (originally Benjamin Jonson /ˈdʒɒnsən/; c. 11 June 1572 – 6 August 1637) was an English playwright, poet, and literary critic of the seventeenth century, 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 Foxe (1605), The Alchemist (1610), and Bartholomew Fayre: A Comedy (1614), and for his lyric poetry; he is generally regarded as the second most important English dramatist, after William Shakespeare, during the reign of James I.[1] 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).[2][3] Ben Jonson said that his family originally came from the folk of the Anglo-Scottish border country, which genealogy is verified by the three spindles (rhombi) in the Jonson family coat of arms. One spindle is a diamond-shaped heraldic device shared with the Border-country Johnstone family of Annandale. Jonson's clergyman father died two months before his birth; his mother married a master bricklayer two years later.[4][5] Jonson attended school in St. Martin's Lane. Later, a family friend paid for his studies at Westminster School, where the antiquarian, historian, topographer, and officer of arms, William Camden (1551–1623) was one of his masters. In the event, the pupil and the master became friends, and the intellectual influence of Camden's broad-ranging scholarship upon Jonson's art and literary style remained notable, until Camden's death in 1623. John Addington Symonds demonstrated in The Academy 16 (1884) that almost every line has its counterpart in “Epistle xxxiii” of the erotic love-letter Epistles of Philostratus, The Athenian.[4] Richard Cumberland had, however, identified the link to "an obscure collection of love-letters" by Philostratus as early as 1791.[5] George Burke Johnston noted that "the poem is not a translation, but a synthesis of scattered passages. Although only one conceit is not borrowed from Philostratus, the piece is a unified poem, and its glory is Jonson's. It has remained alive and popular for over three hundred years, and it is safe to say that no other work by Jonson is so well known."[6] Another classical strain in the poem derives from Catullus.[7] In a brief notice J. Gwyn Griffiths noted the similarity of the conceit of perfume given to the rosy wreath in a poem in the Greek Anthology[8] and other classical parallels could be attested, natural enough in a writer of as wide reading as Jonson.

That I not mix thee so my brain excuses, I mean with great, but disproportioned Muses : For if I thought my judgment were of years, I should commit thee surely with thy peers, And tell how far thou didst our Lyly outshine, Or sporting Kyd, or Marlowe's mighty line. And though thou hadst small Latin and less Greek, From thence to honour thee, I would not seek For names : but call forth thund'ring Aeschylus, Euripides, and Sophocles to us, Pacuvius, Accius, him of Cordova dead, To life again, to hear thy buskin tread And shake a stage : or when thy socks were on, Leave thee alone for the comparison Of all that insolent Greece or haughty Rome Sent forth, or since did from their ashes come.

The merry Greek, tart Aristophanes, Neat Terence, witty Plautus, now not please ; But antiquated and deserted lie, As they were not of Nature's family. Yet must I not give Nature all ; thy art, My gentle Shakspeare, must enjoy a part. For though the poet's matter nature be, His art doth give the fashion : and, that he Who casts to write a living line, must sweat, (Such as thine are) and strike the second heat Upon the Muses' anvil ; turn the same, And himself with it, that he thinks to frame ; Or for the laurel he may gain a scorn ; For a good poet's made, as well as born. And such wert thou ! Look how the father's face Lives in his issue, even so the race Of Shakspeare's mind and manners brightly shines In his well turned and true filed lines; In each of which he seems to shake a lance, As brandisht at the eyes of ignorance. Sweet Swan of Avon ! what a sight it were To see thee in our waters yet appear, And make those flights upon the banks of Thames, That so did take Eliza, and our James ! But stay, I see thee in the hemisphere Advanced, and made a constellation there ! Shine forth, thou Star of Poets, and with rage Or influence, chide or cheer the drooping stage, Which, since thy flight from hence, hath mourned like night, And despairs day, but for thy volume's light.

Poetry (from the Greek poiesis — ποίησις — with a broad meaning of a "making", seen also in such terms as "hemopoiesis"; more narrowly, the making of poetry) is a form of literary art which uses aesthetic and rhythmic[1][2][3] qualities of language—such as phonaesthetics, sound symbolism, and metre—to evoke meanings in addition to, or in place of, the prosaic ostensible meaning. Poetry has a long history, dating back to the Sumerian Epic of Gilgamesh. Early poems evolved from folk songs such as the Chinese Shijing, or from a need to retell oral epics, as with the Sanskrit Vedas, Zoroastrian Gathas, and the Homeric epics, the Iliad and the Odyssey. Ancient attempts to define poetry, such as Aristotle's Poetics, focused on the uses of speech in rhetoric, drama, song and comedy. Later attempts concentrated on features such as repetition, verse form and rhyme, and emphasized the aesthetics which distinguish poetry from more objectively-informative, prosaic forms of writing. From the mid-20th century, poetry has sometimes been more generally regarded as a fundamental creative act employing language. Poetry uses forms and conventions to suggest differential interpretation to words, or to evoke emotive responses. Devices such as assonance, alliteration, onomatopoeia and rhythm are sometimes used to achieve musical or incantatory effects. The use of ambiguity, symbolism, irony and other stylistic elements of poetic diction often leaves a poem open to multiple interpretations. Similarly, metaphor, simile and metonymy[4] create a resonance between otherwise disparate images—a layering of meanings, forming connections previously not perceived. Kindred forms of resonance may exist, between individual verses, in their patterns of rhyme or rhythm. Some poetry types are specific to particular cultures and genres and respond to characteristics of the language in which the poet writes. Readers accustomed to identifying poetry with Dante, Goethe, Mickiewicz and Rumi may think of it as written in lines based on rhyme and regular meter; there are, however, traditions, such as Biblical poetry, that use other means to create rhythm and euphony. Much modern poetry reflects a critique of poetic tradition,[5] playing with and testing, among other things, the principle of euphony itself, sometimes altogether forgoing rhyme or set rhythm.[6][7] In today's increasingly globalized world, poets often adapt forms, styles and techniques from diverse cultures and languages.

The thirst that from the soul doth rise Doth ask a drink divine; But might I of Jove’s nectar sup, I would not change for thine. I sent thee late a rosy wreath, Not so much honouring thee As giving it a hope, that there It could not withered be. But thou thereon didst only breathe, And sent’st it back to me; Since when it grows, and smells, I swear, Not of itself, but thee. ABOUT SOUNDBITES:The human voice is an amazing sound with a wide range of registrations and modulations, which make it unique and specific to each individual. The voice has weight, timbre and tessitura as basic characteristics but it can be trained and used to convey a wide range of emotions. Actors and singers learn to control tensions and blocks, experiment and use their voices to express whatever they wish to an audience. This requires not only training but the ability to listen to other people’s voices as well. Understanding the human voice is part of an actor’s training. Actors learn to achieve a neutral state from which to depart so they can create all sorts of different sounds. SOUNDBITES is an experience in narration. It provides the opportunity for our actors to analyse how their own voice works, to think about diction, tone and musicality, and also to listen to different types of voice. It is also an occasion to browse through texts that we like. Reading aloud to others, which in the past was a daily habit and a much cultivated art, is now an occupation most people have no time or patience for. Here's a passage from Jane Austen's "Mansfield Park" on reading and seduction: Henry Crawford is reading to Fanny Price while Edmund watches. "Edmund watched the progress of her attention, and was amused and gratified by seeing how she gradually slackened in the needle-work which, at the beginning, seemed to occupy her totally; how it fell from her hand while she sat motionless over it-and at last, how the eyes which had appeared so studiously to avoid him throughout the day, were turned and fixed on Crawford, fixed on him for minutes, fixed on him in short till the attraction drew Crawford's upon her, and the book was closed, and the charm was broken. Then, she was shrinking again into herself, and blushing and working as hard as ever." The past is a different land. Still, reading small texts, poems and bedtime stories is something that many of us still cherish.

Dryden vs Shadwell - a Poetic DuelJohn DRYDEN (1631 - 1700) and Thomas SHADWELL (1642 - 1692)Throughout history there have been many creative artists whose fame depends largely on their association with a much greater artist. Such the case of Thomas Shadwell, poet and prolific writer of low brow comedies, who is today most famous as the butt of satire by one of greatest and most influential English poets, John Dryden. Shadwell and Dryden were at first colleagues and collaborators, but later fell out over some sharp divergences of opinion. In particular, Dryden disagreed with Shadwell's high estimation of Ben Jonson, and even more of the latter's claim to be be Jonson's artistic heir. The most celebrated product of this controversy was Dryden's satirical poem, Mac Flecknoe, in which he presents Shadwell as the apostle of dullness. This elegant satire was first circulated unpublished in pamphlet form and then published in 1682. Shadwell responded with "The Medal of John Bayes" which has as a preface a mocking "Epistle to the Tories." Dryden's reply was a further poem "The Medal" which likewise had a preface: "Epistle to the Whigs." Shadwell is also the subject of harsh reference in Dryden's Absolom and Achitophel (1681). In his lifetime, Shadwell emerged the victor from this dispute. In 1688, James II was deposed, and Dryden, as a Tory and a staunch Catholic, lost both favour at court and the position of Poet Laureate. His successor was Shadwell, a Whig and a convenient rather than a devout Protestant. Forced into retirement, Dryden concentrated on the translations from Greek and Latin classics, which have added further to his stature as poet and dramatist. Shadwell died in 1692, leaving a large body of comedies, which are today considered his best work, but which are rarely performed today. (Summary by Algy Pug) Genre(s): Poetry, Satire

Still to be neat, still to be dressed, As you were going to a feast; Still to be powdered, still perfumed; Lady, it is to be presumed, Though art's hid causes are not found, All is not sweet, all is not sound. Give me a look, give me a face That makes simplicity a grace; Robes loosely flowing, hair as free: Such sweet neglect more taketh me Than all the adulteries of art; They strike mine eyes, but not my heart.

The Forest - FULL Audio Book - by Ben Jonson - English Renaissance Poetry - The Forest, by Ben Jonson (1572-1637), is a collection of fifteen poems which first appeared in a 1616 folio of his works. - SUBSCRIBE to Greatest Audio Books: http://www.youtube.com/GreatestAudioBooks - READ along by clicking (CC) for Transcript Captions! - LISTEN to this entire audio book poetry reading for free! 01 -- The Forest -- 00:49:43 More about the author, Ben Jonson - Benjamin "Ben" Jonson (c. 11 June 1572 -- 6 August 1637) was an English Renaissance dramatist, poet and actor. A contemporary of William Shakespeare, he is best known for his satirical plays, particularly Volpone, The Alchemist, and Bartholomew Fair, which are considered his best, and his lyric poems. A man of vast reading and a seemingly insatiable appetite for controversy, Jonson had an unparalleled breadth of influence on Jacobean and Caroline playwrights and poets. By summer 1597, Jonson had a fixed engagement in the Admiral's Men, then performing under Philip Henslowe's management at The Rose. John Aubrey reports, on uncertain authority, that Jonson was not successful as an actor; whatever his skills as an actor, he was evidently more valuable to the company as a writer. By this time Jonson had begun to write original plays for the Admiral's Men; in 1598 he was mentioned by Francis Meres in his Palladis Tamia as one of "the best for tragedy." None of his early tragedies survives, however. An undated comedy, The Case is Altered, may be his earliest surviving play. In 1597 a play which he co-wrote with Thomas Nashe, The Isle of Dogs, was suppressed after causing great offence. Arrest warrants for Jonson and Nashe were issued by Queen Elizabeth I's so-called interrogator, Richard Topcliffe. Jonson was jailed in Marshalsea Prison and charged with "Leude and mutynous behavior", while Nashe managed to escape to Great Yarmouth. Two of the actors, Gabriel Spenser and Robert Shaw, were also imprisoned. A year later, Jonson was again briefly imprisoned, this time in Newgate Prison, for killing Gabriel Spenser in a duel on 22 September 1598 in Hogsden Fields (today part of Hoxton). Tried on a charge of manslaughter, Jonson pleaded guilty but was released by benefit of clergy, a legal ploy through which he gained leniency by reciting a brief bible verse (the neck-verse), forfeiting his 'goods and chattels' and being branded on his left thumb. While in gaol Jonson converted to Catholicism, possibly through the influence of fellow-prisoner Father Thomas Wright, a Jesuit priest. In 1598 Jonson produced his first great success, Every Man in His Humour, capitalising on the vogue for humorous plays which George Chapman had begun with An Humorous Day's Mirth. William Shakespeare was among the first actors to be cast. Jonson followed this in 1599 with Every Man out of His Humour, a pedantic attempt to imitate Aristophanes. It is not known whether this was a success on stage, but when published it proved popular and went through several editions. Jonson's other work for the theatre in the last years of Elizabeth I's reign was marked by fighting and controversy. Cynthia's Revels was produced by the Children of the Chapel Royal at Blackfriars Theatre in 1600. It satirised both John Marston, who Jonson believed had accused him of lustfulness, possibly in Histrio-Mastix, and Thomas Dekker. Jonson attacked the two poets again in 1601's Poetaster. Dekker responded with Satiromastix, subtitled "the untrussing of the humorous poet". The final scene of this play, whilst certainly not to be taken at face value as a portrait of Jonson, offers a caricature that is recognisable from Drummond's report -- boasting about himself and condemning other poets, criticising performances of his plays, and calling attention to himself in any available way. This "War of the Theatres" appears to have ended with reconciliation on all sides. Jonson collaborated with Dekker on a pageant welcoming James I to England in 1603 although Drummond reports that Jonson called Dekker a rogue. Marston dedicated The Malcontent to Jonson and the two collaborated with Chapman on Eastward Ho, a 1605 play whose anti-Scottish sentiment briefly landed both authors in jail.

Ben Jonson was Shakespeare s great contemporary and [Jonson's canon] is not quite as large a corpus, but it s a pretty large corpus of plays, poems and some prose, as well. He lived longer than Shakespeare. He was a very argumentative, quarrelsome, contentious man. They got along apparently, as far as we know, pretty well, although there was a famous sense of the difference between the two of them, but he is the other major dramatic figure during Shakespeare s lifetime. So Ben was his great rival in the contemporary and he wrote Volpone, The Alchemist, Epicoene, Every Man In His Humor, Every Man Out of His Humor. These are plays which were very big on the London scene. Especially in the theater, texts keep changing. The truism of the post-structuralist: that there isn t a text, but texts. There s a plural--that they evolve through time. It is so true of the theater. A man writes a script or a woman writes a script, submits it to a company, they act it, they don t like this and that, they throw certain things out and amend it as it s going along. It gets published in various editions, then it gets performed by later generations, through the 19th and 20th and 21st centuries. Then you ve got a whole structure here, which is somehow based around a thing that s called Volpone. This is called the edition of Herford and Simpson, those are the two editors. It s available in eleven volumes, big, fat volumes. It s again, quite a corpus. It is a very substantial piece of work based very primarily on the great folio edition that he brought out first in 1616. There was a later folio in the 1640s and he did a lot of revising. The older school of method used to take the view that you should use the folio because that would seem to represent his final views and so on. But the folio is very literary, whereas the earlier texts are sometimes much more theatrical. He wanted to make them literary, because he thought of himself as a literary giant. He s preparing this text for his posterity and so on. But there are real questions now in terms of textual method and what you want and so on and there are arguments in favor of going back to these earlier editions as the basis for your work. So the text will actually be different. where as that earlier edition is very scholarly and it s not a user-friendly edition in terms of something available for graduates, undergraduates, even for people in the field. The learning in it is very scholarly. The old spelling means that you really have to love that and it s not one you d want to use for your classroom use or for theatrical use. So we re going to use modern spelling and introduce more, sort of glossing and terminology. We're just straightening out verbal and meaning difficulties in the text too and will try to aim at user-friendly for an audience that will include sort of the whole academic community. There are a number of things we are changing that will make it a very different edition. One is that we re now going to bring out an electronic edition, along with the print edition. So the electronic [edition] will be able to expand into having more extensive information about sources and textual problems, that sort of thing. We can also, if we want, include essays because an electronic edition can be open-ended; you can keep bringing stuff into it. So that s exciting. We re still piecing out what the electronic edition of this Jonson will be like, but obviously it offers opportunities for hypertext so that you can pull up the 1616 folio and put it side-by-side with an earlier quarto or also with your edited page. We will provide an old spelling edition of the text and you can compare that with the modern. There are lots of good illustrations about Jonson's costuming especially, you can pull up other commentaries, you'll just be able to work as they were in the library by putting things up on your screen. I'm hoping that that s what s going to happen. I assume that that's the case.

Professor James Loxley, Professor of Early Modern Literature, delivers his inaugural lecture entitled, "Ben Jonson's Road North" In July 1618, the poet and playwright Ben Jonson embarked on an enterprise that had been at least a year in the planning - an epic walk all the way from London to Edinburgh. In this lecture, Professor Loxley will look at what his companion's account can tell us about the motivations and meanings of Jonson's long walk to the north, and offer some reflections on what this new information on the journey can tell us about the culture and politics of the Stuart kingdoms in the decades after the union of the crowns. Recorded on 25 February 2014 at the University of Edinburgh's Old College.

Ben Jonson (originally Benjamin Jonson /ˈdʒɒnsən/; c. 11 June 1572 – 6 August 1637) was an English playwright, poet, and literary critic of the seventeenth century, 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 Foxe (1605), The Alchemist (1610), and Bartholomew Fayre: A Comedy (1614), and for his lyric poetry; he is generally regarded as the second most important English dramatist, after William Shakespeare, during the reign of James I.[1] 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).[2][3] Ben Jonson said that his family originally came from the folk of the Anglo-Scottish border country, which genealogy is verified by the three spindles (rhombi) in the Jonson family coat of arms. One spindle is a diamond-shaped heraldic device shared with the Border-country Johnstone family of Annandale. Jonson's clergyman father died two months before his birth; his mother married a master bricklayer two years later.[4][5] Jonson attended school in St. Martin's Lane. Later, a family friend paid for his studies at Westminster School, where the antiquarian, historian, topographer, and officer of arms, William Camden (1551–1623) was one of his masters. In the event, the pupil and the master became friends, and the intellectual influence of Camden's broad-ranging scholarship upon Jonson's art and literary style remained notable, until Camden's death in 1623. John Addington Symonds demonstrated in The Academy 16 (1884) that almost every line has its counterpart in “Epistle xxxiii” of the erotic love-letter Epistles of Philostratus, The Athenian.[4] Richard Cumberland had, however, identified the link to "an obscure collection of love-letters" by Philostratus as early as 1791.[5] George Burke Johnston noted that "the poem is not a translation, but a synthesis of scattered passages. Although only one conceit is not borrowed from Philostratus, the piece is a unified poem, and its glory is Jonson's. It has remained alive and popular for over three hundred years, and it is safe to say that no other work by Jonson is so well known."[6] Another classical strain in the poem derives from Catullus.[7] In a brief notice J. Gwyn Griffiths noted the similarity of the conceit of perfume given to the rosy wreath in a poem in the Greek Anthology[8] and other classical parallels could be attested, natural enough in a writer of as wide reading as Jonson.

'Tis true, and all men's suffrage. But these ways Were not the paths I meant unto thy praise ; For seeliest ignorance on these may light, Which, when it sounds at best, but echoes right ; Or blind affection, which doth ne'er advance The truth, but gropes, and urgeth all by chance ; Or crafty malice might pretend this praise, And think to ruin where it seemed to raise. But thou art proof against them, and, indeed, Above the ill fortune of them, or the need. I therefore will begin: Soul of the age! The applause ! delight ! the wonder of our stage! My SHAKSPEARE rise ! I will not lodge thee by Chaucer, or Spenser, or bid Beaumont lie A little further, to make thee a room : Thou art a monument without a tomb, And art alive still while thy book doth live And we have wits to read, and praise to give. That I not mix thee so my brain excuses, I mean with great, but disproportioned Muses : For if I thought my judgment were of years, I should commit thee surely with thy peers, And tell how far thou didst our Lyly outshine, Or sporting Kyd, or Marlowe's mighty line. And though thou hadst small Latin and less Greek, From thence to honour thee, I would not seek For names : but call forth thund'ring Aeschylus, Euripides, and Sophocles to us, Pacuvius, Accius, him of Cordova dead, To life again, to hear thy buskin tread And shake a stage : or when thy socks were on, Leave thee alone for the comparison Of all that insolent Greece or haughty Rome Sent forth, or since did from their ashes come. Triumph, my Britain, thou hast one to show To whom all Scenes of Europe homage owe. He was not of an age, but for all time ! And all the Muses still were in their prime, When, like Apollo, he came forth to warm Our ears, or like a Mercury to charm ! Nature herself was proud of his designs, And joyed to wear the dressing of his lines ! Which were so richly spun, and woven so fit, As, since, she will vouchsafe no other wit. The merry Greek, tart Aristophanes, Neat Terence, witty Plautus, now not please ; But antiquated and deserted lie, As they were not of Nature's family. Yet must I not give Nature all ; thy art, My gentle Shakspeare, must enjoy a part. For though the poet's matter nature be, His art doth give the fashion : and, that he Who casts to write a living line, must sweat, (Such as thine are) and strike the second heat Upon the Muses' anvil ; turn the same, And himself with it, that he thinks to frame ; Or for the laurel he may gain a scorn ; For a good poet's made, as well as born. And such wert thou ! Look how the father's face Lives in his issue, even so the race Of Shakspeare's mind and manners brightly shines In his well turned and true filed lines; In each of which he seems to shake a lance, As brandisht at the eyes of ignorance. Sweet Swan of Avon ! what a sight it were To see thee in our waters yet appear, And make those flights upon the banks of Thames, That so did take Eliza, and our James ! But stay, I see thee in the hemisphere Advanced, and made a constellation there ! Shine forth, thou Star of Poets, and with rage Or influence, chide or cheer the drooping stage, Which, since thy flight from hence, hath mourned like night, And despairs day, but for thy volume's light.

Poetry (from the Greek poiesis — ποίησις — with a broad meaning of a "making", seen also in such terms as "hemopoiesis"; more narrowly, the making of poetry) is a form of literary art which uses aesthetic and rhythmic[1][2][3] qualities of language—such as phonaesthetics, sound symbolism, and metre—to evoke meanings in addition to, or in place of, the prosaic ostensible meaning. Poetry has a long history, dating back to the Sumerian Epic of Gilgamesh. Early poems evolved from folk songs such as the Chinese Shijing, or from a need to retell oral epics, as with the Sanskrit Vedas, Zoroastrian Gathas, and the Homeric epics, the Iliad and the Odyssey. Ancient attempts to define poetry, such as Aristotle's Poetics, focused on the uses of speech in rhetoric, drama, song and comedy. Later attempts concentrated on features such as repetition, verse form and rhyme, and emphasized the aesthetics which distinguish poetry from more objectively-informative, prosaic forms of writing. From the mid-20th century, poetry has sometimes been more generally regarded as a fundamental creative act employing language. Poetry uses forms and conventions to suggest differential interpretation to words, or to evoke emotive responses. Devices such as assonance, alliteration, onomatopoeia and rhythm are sometimes used to achieve musical or incantatory effects. The use of ambiguity, symbolism, irony and other stylistic elements of poetic diction often leaves a poem open to multiple interpretations. Similarly, metaphor, simile and metonymy[4] create a resonance between otherwise disparate images—a layering of meanings, forming connections previously not perceived. Kindred forms of resonance may exist, between individual verses, in their patterns of rhyme or rhythm. Some poetry types are specific to particular cultures and genres and respond to characteristics of the language in which the poet writes. Readers accustomed to identifying poetry with Dante, Goethe, Mickiewicz and Rumi may think of it as written in lines based on rhyme and regular meter; there are, however, traditions, such as Biblical poetry, that use other means to create rhythm and euphony. Much modern poetry reflects a critique of poetic tradition,[5] playing with and testing, among other things, the principle of euphony itself, sometimes altogether forgoing rhyme or set rhythm.[6][7] In today's increasingly globalized world, poets often adapt forms, styles and techniques from diverse cultures and languages.

The thirst that from the soul doth rise Doth ask a drink divine; But might I of Jove’s nectar sup, I would not change for thine. I sent thee late a rosy wreath, Not so much honouring thee As giving it a hope, that there It could not withered be. But thou thereon didst only breathe, And sent’st it back to me; Since when it grows, and smells, I swear, Not of itself, but thee. ABOUT SOUNDBITES:The human voice is an amazing sound with a wide range of registrations and modulations, which make it unique and specific to each individual. The voice has weight, timbre and tessitura as basic characteristics but it can be trained and used to convey a wide range of emotions. Actors and singers learn to control tensions and blocks, experiment and use their voices to express whatever they wish to an audience. This requires not only training but the ability to listen to other people’s voices as well. Understanding the human voice is part of an actor’s training. Actors learn to achieve a neutral state from which to depart so they can create all sorts of different sounds. SOUNDBITES is an experience in narration. It provides the opportunity for our actors to analyse how their own voice works, to think about diction, tone and musicality, and also to listen to different types of voice. It is also an occasion to browse through texts that we like. Reading aloud to others, which in the past was a daily habit and a much cultivated art, is now an occupation most people have no time or patience for. Here's a passage from Jane Austen's "Mansfield Park" on reading and seduction: Henry Crawford is reading to Fanny Price while Edmund watches. "Edmund watched the progress of her attention, and was amused and gratified by seeing how she gradually slackened in the needle-work which, at the beginning, seemed to occupy her totally; how it fell from her hand while she sat motionless over it-and at last, how the eyes which had appeared so studiously to avoid him throughout the day, were turned and fixed on Crawford, fixed on him for minutes, fixed on him in short till the attraction drew Crawford's upon her, and the book was closed, and the charm was broken. Then, she was shrinking again into herself, and blushing and working as hard as ever." The past is a different land. Still, reading small texts, poems and bedtime stories is something that many of us still cherish.

Dryden vs Shadwell - a Poetic DuelJohn DRYDEN (1631 - 1700) and Thomas SHADWELL (1642 - 1692)Throughout history there have been many creative artists whose fame depends largely on their association with a much greater artist. Such the case of Thomas Shadwell, poet and prolific writer of low brow comedies, who is today most famous as the butt of satire by one of greatest and most influential English poets, John Dryden. Shadwell and Dryden were at first colleagues and collaborators, but later fell out over some sharp divergences of opinion. In particular, Dryden disagreed with Shadwell's high estimation of Ben Jonson, and even more of the latter's claim to be be Jonson's artistic heir. The most celebrated product of this controversy was Dryden's satirical poem, Mac Flecknoe, in which he presents Shadwell as the apostle of dullness. This elegant satire was first circulated unpublished in pamphlet form and then published in 1682. Shadwell responded with "The Medal of John Bayes" which has as a preface a mocking "Epistle to the Tories." Dryden's reply was a further poem "The Medal" which likewise had a preface: "Epistle to the Whigs." Shadwell is also the subject of harsh reference in Dryden's Absolom and Achitophel (1681). In his lifetime, Shadwell emerged the victor from this dispute. In 1688, James II was deposed, and Dryden, as a Tory and a staunch Catholic, lost both favour at court and the position of Poet Laureate. His successor was Shadwell, a Whig and a convenient rather than a devout Protestant. Forced into retirement, Dryden concentrated on the translations from Greek and Latin classics, which have added further to his stature as poet and dramatist. Shadwell died in 1692, leaving a large body of comedies, which are today considered his best work, but which are rarely performed today. (Summary by Algy Pug) Genre(s): Poetry, Satire
