DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Ben Jonson's career began in 1597 when he held a fixed engagement in the "Admiral's Men", and although he was unsuccessful as an actor, his literary talent was apparent and he began writing original plays for the troupe. Jonson had a knack for absurdity and hypocrisy, a trait that made him immensely popular in the 17th century Renaissance period. It is known that Shakespeare's company produced several of Jonson's plays, Shakespeare himself appearing in "Every Man in His Humour" (1598). The play was Jonson's first major success, written in the style of "humour plays", a genre of comedy originated by George Chapman. In it, Jonson targets some of his favorite topics for satire: education, love, poetry, and social classes. As each major character represents a different issue, the play transforms into a depiction of everyday Renaissance life, and a scathing social commentary on the problems that plagued it.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Excerpt from Ben Jonson's Every Man in His Humour A complete edition of Ben Jonson's Works by Professor C. H. Herford and the present editor has long been in preparation; this edition of Every Man in bi: Humour is therefore in the nature of a pioneer volume. Three objects have been kept steadily in view in producing it - to print the authoritative text; to solve the problem of its date and composition; to illustrate its literary relations and its faithful picture of contemporary London. The critical apparatus concentrates on the early issues and so presents, unencumbered, the minuter variants of the 1640 Folio changes of spelling and punctuation, which, in part at least, are Jonson's. Few conjectures are recorded, for the text is too sound to need any; and it seemed futile to notice such trivialities as Gifford's occasional expansion of the contracted i' and o'. Jonson used them side by side with the fuller forms, and the precisian who meddles with them is not even precise. Mr. H. B. Wheatley's edition of the play has been consulted for its notes on London topography. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
