site presents an online edition of the works of Ben Jonson (1572-1637), Shakespeare's Clark J. Holloway These texts are in the original spelling of the 1692 edition of Jonson's Works (the first folio edition to be combined in one volume), with the exception of The Case is Altered and Eastward Ho , neither of which appeared in the folios. The Case is Altered is taken from Peter Whalley's edition of 1756 (as reprinted for John Stockdale in 1811), and Eastward Ho is taken from a relatively modern text. All errors are preserved and line breaks are retained (with the exception of the epistles and arguments that have been formatted with justified margins). Broken lines due to insufficient space have been silently repaired, except where the text accommodates them by adding an indented line. Some errors in the original text, and occasional obsolete spellings, are marked by a tiny image of Jonson. Hover your cursor over the image to see an editorial correction or clarification. Although generally printed in two-column pages, the texts are presented here in a single column format. Column breaks are indicated in square brackets. Page breaks are indicated by a light-gray line extending across the page. Spacing has been normalized, and original letter-forms not readily available on a modern Internet browser (such as the long "s") have been modernized.

Ben Jonson - The Alchemist
Ben Jonson (1573-1637) was one of the foremost of the Jacobean dramatists. He wrote a number of plays (both comedies and tragedies) and a series of stylised masques for the Court. He had a keen eye for the follies of his contemporaries, and in this play he particularly satirises human gullibility. He displays considerable understanding of alchemy and makes many jokes based on its symbolism (and in two places even refers to Dee and Kelly). He obviously expected the audience for this play to have some knowledge of alchemical ideas. Jonson's The Alchemist written in 1610, thus presents us with a satirical window through which we can see one way in which alchemy was perceived in the opening decade of the 17th century.

van den Berg, Sara. "Marking his Place: Ben Jonson's Punctuation." Early Modern Literary Studies http://purl.oclc.org/emls/01-3/bergjons.html
  • "Ben:Jonson", perhaps the most distinctive authorial signature in the English Renaissance, is noteworthy for its spelling and, even more, its punctuation. In an era before English spelling and punctuation were normalized, Jonson indulged his own preferences. He dropped the "h" from his surname, thereby making it stand out from the mass of common "Johnsons" and especially from his own family. He inserted a double punctus Und . LXX.84-85). At once appositive and disjunctive, the mark that links "Ben" and "Jonson" is part of his signature, essential to Jonson's act of naming himself. Each name is a kind of sentence, yet the full meaning of his name requires both terms. As Jonson writes in The English Grammar , the colon (which he describes as a "double prick") marks "A Distinction of a Sentence, though perfect in it selfe, yet joyned to another" (HS VIII.552). The mark also identifies Jonson as an adherent of Humanism, eager to introduce into English the new punctuation marks developed by continental Humanist writers, editors and publishers. Among these were the question mark, the exclamation point, and the double

    Ben Jonson
    "I have and do reverence him for the greatness that was only proper to himself, in that he seemed to me ever, by his works, one of the greatest men, and most worthy of admiration that has been in many Ages."Ben Jonson in tribute to Francis Bacon In Ben Jonson's Discoveries (1641) he gives Bacon the highest praise, and describes his writings in these peculiar words: "He who hath filled up all numbers and performed that in our tongue which may be compared or preferred to insolent Greece and haughty Rome ....so that he may be named as the mark and acme of our language." Bacon is here compared to Homer and Virgil in the same words that Jonson used about the author of the Shakespeare Folio in 1623: "Leave thee alone for the comparison
    Of all that insolent Greece and haughty Rome
    Sent forth.... " "He who hath filled up all numbers," acknowledges Bacon's versification during Elizabethan days such as sonnet, madrigal, blank verse and even cypher numbers. Ben Jonson, the editor of the Shake-speare Folio, is telling posterity in this eulogy from his significantly entitled "Discoveries" that : Francis Bacon is Shakespeare.
    (Excerpted from The Knights of the Helmet by Martin Pares) "There was one famous contemporary of Lord Bacon, a great and original writer himself, a man of moods and satire, seldom given to lavish praise of others, who acknowledged Bacon to be his "chief." This man was Benjamin Jonson. If ever there was a man of genius, full of suprises, it was Ben. He combined the strangest mixture of coarseness and delicacy. As a private soldier in the Low Countries he challenged and killed with his own hands a champion from the enemy camp; later he killed a fellow actor in a duel. He drank heavily at times, and it is not impossible that Will Shakspers' decease after that famous "merry meeting" was the end of a similar feud. And yet Ben Jonson could write, not only in Latin. not only ribald plays, but some of the loveliest lyrics such as the extravagant, "Drink to me only with thine eyes."

    Ben Jonson
    This biography was originally published in Elizabethan and Stuart Plays . Ed. Charles Read Baskerville. New York: Henry Holt and Company, 1934. pp. 827-830. Lord Haddington's Masque or, as it is appropriately named by Gifford, The Hue and Cry after Cupid , was printed, probably in 1608, in an undated quarto, and in the folio of 1616. The classical legend upon which it was founded is as old at least as Moschus, and had been often retold in Italy and in France. None of these versions, however, can be designated as a source for Jonson's masque. The piece occupies an important place in the evolution of the masque, not only because in the rôles of Cupid and his twelve boys "most anticly attired" it offers a good example of the antimasque or foil, intended by its grotesqueness and drollery to set off the beauty of the main masque, but because in its brevity, simplicity, and high poetical quality it avoids the excesses which often characterized its successors.

    Ben 'Origin Unknown' Jonson
    Benjamin Johnson was born in the first half of 1573, probably 11 June, somewhere in England . We know he wasn't born in Westminster, although that's where he went to school. His father had been a Protestant minister who died very shortly before Ben's birth. At some point, Ben's mother moved to the city of Westminster and married a bricklayer . Ben attended the free parish school when he was very young, and it was only because of the intervention of some kindly soul that he was able to afford to go on to Westminster Grammar School . He tried for a scholarship, the only way he could possibly have continued his schooling....and failed . Ben's stepfather arranged for him to be apprenticed to another bricklayer for the seven years it would take for Ben to receive his guild membership and become a free, full citizen of London. There's no real record of his opinion of all this (naturally), but we do know that he read a lot. I mean a LOT. Pretty soon he could hold his own with any formally-educated person, though in Ben's own frequently-expressed opinion, he could more than hold his own with anybody Ben married a woman named Ann Lewis on 14 November 1594 , which was odd because the wedding took place while Ben was still an apprentice and not really free to marry.

    Ben Jonson Unmasked
    A study of how Ben Jonson's plays reveal Jonson's changing attitude to his fellow playwrights, the theatre as a medium, and his own role as a dramatist
    by Kathleen A. Prendergast Bookshop English Literature Ben Jonson Renaissance drama ... GCSE Books
    Abstract: Jonson's presence in his own work can be interpreted as his way of expressing his dissatisfaction with theatre as a medium, and also as a means of imposing a measure of authorial control. His presence in his plays was not static: over the course of his career one can observe an increasingly subtle and less easily distinguishable presence. In this shift, we can see a concurrent change in the author's attitudes about his role as a playwright / poet, theatre and its audience, poetry, and his contemporaries. It is a gradual and subtle move from hubris and idealism toward at least the beginnings of a humility more consistent with his own time, and a grudging acceptance of the limits of the medium in which he worked, and his place within the wider context of the English Renaissance theatre.
    Introduction
    The demands that Ben Jonson makes upon his audiences, as much as they were resisted in his own time, are often seen as a major strength by modern critics, a characteristic setting him apart from his contemporaries. T. S. Eliot writes, "Jonson behaved as the great creative mind that he was: he created his own world, a world from which his followers, as well as the dramatists who were trying to do something wholly different, are excluded" (78). This expectation of challenge associated with Jonson is reflected in a review by Peter Holland of a modern theatrical production of Jonson's

    Introduction
    THE CAMBRIDGE EDITION OF THE WORKS OF BEN JONSON offers a complete re-editing of the entire Jonsonian canon, and aims to supersede the monumental Oxford Ben Jonson of C. H. Herford and Percy and Evelyn Simpson published between 1925 and 1952. The Cambridge Ben Jonson takes account of recently discovered works by Jonson, and offers the first complete edition of Jonson in electronic form. In addition, the Cambridge Ben Jonson is shaped by new research on the ordering and arrangement of the canon, and its editorial policy reflects revisionary thinking on Jonsonian copy-texts. Thus, the Cambridge Ben Jonson gives a clear sense, afforded by no other modern edition, of the shape, scale, and variety of the Jonsonian canon.
    The Cambridge Ben Jonson
    A team of over thirty eminent scholars join the General Editors in this endeavour. Cambridge University Press will publish their work in both the print and electronic editions in 2005.

    Introductory Note Dominus Verulamius [Footnote 1: Francis Bacon, Lord Verulam.] One, though he be excellent and the chief, is not to be imitated alone; for never no imitator ever grew up to his author; likeness is always on this side truth. Yet there happened in my time one noble speaker who was full of gravity in his speaking; his language, where he could spare or pass by a jest, was nobly censorious. No man ever spake more neatly, more presly, more weightily, or suffered less emptiness, less idleness, in what he uttered. No member of his speech but consisted of his own graces. His hearers could not cough, or look aside from him, without loss. He commanded where he spoke, and had his judges angry and pleased at his devotion. No man had their affections more in his power. The fear of every man that heard him was lest he should make an end. [Footnote 1: Severe.] [Footnote 2: Concisely.] [Footnote 3: Choice, disposal.]

    Ben Jonson
    Ben Jonson was born in London, the son of a clergyman who died before Jonson's birth, and was educated at Westminster School. After working as a bricklayer for his stepfather and serving as a soldier, he became an actor and playwright. In 1599 he was imprisoned along with other actors for his part in a scurrilous play, Isle of Dogs, and later again for killing an actor in a duel. His volatile nature is reflected in his poetry and plays, which are a combination of satirical humour and scholarly classicism. He became a court poet and masque writer to James I in collaboration with Inigo Jones and is best remembered for his comedy plays Volpene The Alchemist , and Bartholemew Fair . He was appointed City Chronologer in 1628, holding the post until his death in 1637. A Farewell to the World
