Ben Jonson (1572-1637) A Hymn on the Nativity of My Savior I sing the birth was born tonight, The Author both of life and light; And like the ravished shepherds said, Who saw the light, and were afraid, The Son of God, the eternal King, That did us all salvation bring, He whom the whole world could not take, The Word, which heaven and earth did make, The Father's wisdom willed it so, The Son's obedience knew no "No," And as that wisdom had decreed, The Word was now made Flesh indeed, What comfort by Him do we win? Who made Himself the Prince of sin, To see this Babe, all innocence, A Martyr born in our defense, To Christmas Poems Table of Contents To the SHAKESPEARE AUTHORSHIP page.

Help Search: Biography of Ben Jonson (1572-1637) Ben Jonson Born in early June of 1572 (probably the 11th) in London, Ben Jonson never knew his father, a minister, who had died two months before he was born. No real trace of Jonson’s father has been found; the name was hardly uncommon, and its spelling was Ben’s invention–his father was likely one of many Johnsons in London at this time. His mother remarried early in his childhood. His stepfather was a bricklayer named Robert Brett. Jonson was educated briefly at Westminster School, where he was introduced to the humanist culture which dominated English thought at the time. Jonson said later that he was “taken from” his education and “put to another craft,” which was likely an apprenticeship of some description, followed by a short spell as a soldier at war in the Netherlands. Jonson returned to London about 1594 and married Anne Lewis on November 14, 1594. Nothing is known of her except from a contemporary source that she was “a shrew yet honest.” It is thought that Jonson outlived all of his children, and some of the poems he wrote on the occasion of their deaths suggest that he was much affected by them. It is possible that Jonson’s marriage was unhappy and perhaps even the object of a legal separation later in his life. Jonson had begun to write in 1597, perhaps with a play called

T-Z Subjects: A-B C-E F-L M-Z Jonson, Ben (1572-1637) There is no evidence that playwright and poet Ben Jonson, one of the most important figures in English literature, was ever himself involved in same-sex sexual relationships. While his most significant emotional bonds may have been with other men (especially the so-called "Sons of Ben," younger poets and playwrights with whom he socialized), he has sometimes been described, with some justice, as misogynistic and homophobic Yet he deserves attention for his depictions of same-sex relationships in both dramatic and non-dramatic works. These depictions help illuminate early modern constructions of homosexuality and the dynamics of gender ambiguity and eroticism on the transvestite English Renaissance stage. Sponsor Message. In his poetry, Jonson's allusions to same-sex eroticism are satiric. In Epigram 25, "On Sir Voluptuous Beast," for example, Jonson ridicules a libertine who instructs his "faire, and innocent wife" in "how his GANIMEDE mov'd, and how his goate," thus equating homosexuality and bestiality, both of which were often subsumed under the all-encompassing rubric

70. Deaths Of Remarkable People ben jonson, critic and playwright in the time of Shakespeare and Marlowe, is said to have asked King Charles I to grant him eighteen square inches of land http://homepage.smc.edu/larsen_lyle/deaths_of_remarkable_people.htm

Deaths of Remarkable People Lyle Larsen The French author Montaigne is said to have amused himself with collecting incidents surrounding the deaths of remarkable people. Whether this collection ever saw print, or whether it even survives in manuscript, I have not been able to learn. If it still exists, the following items might be useful additions to it. Ben Jonson, critic and playwright in the time of Shakespeare and Marlowe, is said to have asked King Charles I to grant him eighteen square inches of land anywhere in England that he chose. The King thought this too little and offered more, but Jonson refused, saying that what he asked for would serve his purpose. When Charles granted the wish, Jonson asked for an eighteen square inch plot in the Poets' Corner of Westminster Abbey, where he was eventually buried, standing up, with the inscription above his head, "O rare Ben Jonson!" In 1849, when another grave was dug nearby, the wall of Jonson's grave collapsed into the new one. The superintendent in charge of the work detail said that he saw "the two leg-bones of Jonson, fixed bolt upright in the sand, as though the body had been buried in the upright position; and the skull came rolling down among the sand, from the position above the leg-bones, to the bottom of the newly made grave. There was still hair upon it, and it was of a red colour." Queen Elizabeth died the 24th of March 1603. A ghastly incident occurred two days later which Lady Southwell, one of the women who helped attend the corpse, noted in her diary: "Last night whilst the ladies were in their places watching about the Queen's corpse which was fast nailed up in a board coffin, with leaves of lead covered with velvet, her body burst with such a crack that it splitted the wood, lead and cerecloth, so that to-day she was fain to be new trimmed up."

Renaissance Quarterly artId=65285981;usrSelf=false; Microhistory and Cultural Geography: Ben Jonson's "To Sir Robert Wroth" and the Absorption of Local Community in the Commonwealth [*]. Recent interest in the relation between Renaissance cartography and literature provides an opportunity to ask how a literary work projects the geographic place from which it is written. [1] Geographic position as the starting point of literary interpretation is especially interesting during times of geographical change when borders shift across people, when people shift across borders, when borders move centripetally to create a large political formation out of smaller ones, when borders move centrifugally to create smaller formations out of a larger one. Shifts such as these result in changes in the location of personal, social, and political identity as well as changes in the location of cultural authority, especially among rival claimants for the authenticity of centralizing and decentralizing tendencies in politico-geographical formations. Though there may still be disagreement, historians have come to emphasize the symbiotic rather than adversarial relationship between country and court, and this realignment has opened the way for literary historians to see connections rather than contrasts between court and country in late sixteenth- and early seventeenth-century literature about the country. Leah Marcus has done the most to reconfigure our understanding of the country-court axis in English literature when she argued that the literary representation of the country promoted James's policy of "repastoralization," a policy aimed at keeping the gentry in the country so they could provide hospitality instead of seeking city pleasures. [3] Kevin Sharpe and Peter Lake state the larger case as follows:

Send some poems to a friend - the love thought that counts! Poems for the People - Poems by the People Benjamin Jonson English dramatist and poet, perhaps still best known as the dramatic rival of his more famous contemporary, Shakespeare. His most renowned works are the two comedies Volpone (1605-6) and The Alchemist (1610) and the satirical tragedy Sejanus (1603). Other important works include the satirical The Devil is an Ass (1616), Epicone, or The Silent Woman (1609) and Bartholomew's Fair (1614). The first and perhaps most enduring of the famous comedies of humour, with which Jonson's name is chiefly associated today, was his Every Man in his Humour (1598). Other dramatic works include Every Man Out of His Humour (1599), Cynthia's Revels (1600), The Poetaster (1601), Catiline (1611), The Staple of News (1625), The New Inn (1629) and The Magnetic Lady (1632). Perhaps the most important of his non-dramatic works is his collection of prose pieces Timber; or Discoveries Made Upon Men and Matters (1640). He also wrote non-dramatic poetry that influenced the form of the later lyric verse, in particular the verse of Andrew Marvell and of the Cavalier poets.
