Benjamin Johnson
Incompetech's satirical biography of jonson.
http://www.incompetech.com/authors/jonson/

Extractions: 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.

Extractions: His fiery temperament proved eventually to be too much for Inigo Jones and they finally fell out. Jonson found himself called to court on fewer and fewer occasions. He was however still idolised and was probably as famous, in his day, as William Shakespeare and after his death in 1637 he was granted the ultimate honour of burial in Westminster Abbey.

Extractions: Jonson, Ben Jonson, Ben, , English dramatist and poet, b. Westminster, London. The high-spirited buoyancy of Jonson's plays and the brilliance of his language have earned him a reputation as one of the great playwrights in English literature. After a brief term at bricklaying, his stepfather's trade, and after military service in Flanders, he began working for Philip Henslowe as an actor and playwright. In 1598 he was tried for killing another actor in a duel but escaped execution by claiming right of clergy (that he could read and write). His first important play, Every Man in His Humour, was produced in 1598, with Shakespeare in the cast. In 1599 its companion piece, Every Man out of His Humour

Extractions: RICHARD BROME This article was originally published in Encyclopedia Britannica, Eleventh Edition, Volume IV . Anonymous. Cambridge: University Press, 1910. p. 631-2. BROME, RICHARD (d. 1652), English dramatist, was originally a servant of Ben Jonson , and owed much to his master. The development of his plots, the strongly marked characters and the amount of curious information to be found in his work, all show Jonson's influence. The relation of master and servant developed in to friendship, and our knowledge of Brome's personal character is chiefly drawn from Ben Jonson's lines to him, prefixed to The Northern Lasse (1632), the play which made Brome's reputation. Brome's genius lay entirely in comedy. He has left fifteen pieces. Five New Playes (ed. by Alex. Brome, 1652?) contained Madd Couple Well Matcht (acted 1639?); Novella (acted 1632); Court Beggar (acted 1632); City Witt The Damoiselle or the New Ordinary Five New Playes (1659) included The English Moor, or The Mock Marriage; The Love-Sick Court, or The Ambitious Politique; Covent Garden Weeded; The New Academy, or The New Exchange

Email Us BEN JONSON (1574-1637) I N the group of playwrights immediately surrounding Shakespeare , who with him were perhaps accustomed to gather in the Mermaid Tavern, were Ben Jonson, Webster Ford Beaumont and Fletcher Chapman , Marston, and Dekker . Among these Jonson was easily the first, both in the quality of his genius and the amount of his work. He was a man of enormous learning, poet laureate, a soldier in Flanders, an actor, and hack writer for Henslowe . He appeared first as a playwright in the late years of the sixteenth century, at the moment when Shakespeare and the romantic comedies were at the height of their popularity. To some extent he was obliged to conform to the prevailing taste; but his natural inclination was toward the classic and regular style rather than toward the romantic; and his "humour" was satirical rather than sentimental. Jonson's plays fall roughly into three groups: the realistic comedies, the tragedies, and the

Extractions: Ben Jonson, colour illustration after a miniature in the Royal Library at Windsor Castle Corbis-Bettmann byname of BENJAMIN JONSON (b. June 11?, 1572, London, Eng.d. Aug. 6, 1637, London), English Jacobean dramatist, lyric poet, and literary critic. He is generally regarded as the second most important English dramatist, after William Shakespeare, during the reign of James I. Among his major plays are the comedies Every Man in His Humour Volpone The Alchemist (1610), and Bartholomew Fair Jonson was born two months after his father died. His stepfather was a bricklayer, but by good fortune the boy was able to attend Westminster School. His formal education, however, ended early, and he at first followed his stepfather's trade, then fought with some success with the English forces in the Netherlands. On returning to England, he became an actor and playwright, experiencing the life of a strolling player. He apparently played the leading role of Hieronimo in Thomas Kyd's The Spanish Tragedy . By 1597 he was writing plays for Philip Henslowe , the leading impresario for the public theatre. With one exception (

BIBLIOGRAPHIC RECORD T HE Yet there are possibilities for Jonson even now. We have no difficulty in seeing what brought him to this pass; how, in contrast, not with Shakespeare, but with Marlowe, Webster, Donne, Beaumont, and Fletcher, he has been paid out with reputation instead of enjoyment. He is no less a poet than these men, but his poetry is of the surface. Poetry of the surface cannot be understood without study; for to deal with the surface of life, as Jonson dealt with it, is to deal so deliberately that we too must be deliberate, in order to understand. Shakespeare, and smaller men also, are in the end more difficult, but they offer something at the start to encourage the student or to satisfy those who want nothing more; they are suggestive, evocative, a phrase, a voice; they offer poetry in detail as well as in design. So does Dante offer something, a phrase everywhere (
