Ben Jonson (1572-1637)
|
Buried in Westminster Abbey (under a plain slab adorned with the words, Rare
Ben Jonson), Ben Jonson was one of England's most renowned playwrights
during the 17th century. A contemporary of Shakespeare, Jonson was born in
1572, educated at the Westminster School, and as a young man joined the
theatrical company of Philip Henslowe in London. Shortly after joining the
company, Jonson's second play, Every Man in His Humour, was performed in
1598 at the Globe, with a cast that included William Shakespeare. Ever the
quick wit and satirist, Jonson's reputation was firmly secured by the
comedies he wrote between 1605 and 1614, which included The Alchemist and
Bartholomew Fair. This site, provided by the Luminarium, contains most of
Jonsons' plays and lyric poetry, a brief biography (with hypertext links),
additional Web resources, and a number of critical essays on Jonson's body
of work. Visitors will want to make sure to read Jonson's homage to William
Shakespeare, titled "To the Memory of My Beloved the Author, Mr. William
Shakespeare." [445]

Wired for Books

For many years, most of the best writers of the English language found their way to Don Swaim's CBS Radio studio in New York. The one-on-one interviews typically lasted 30 to 45 minutes and then had to be edited down to a two-minute radio show. Wired for Books is proud to make these important oral documents publicly available for the first time in their entirety. Listen to the voices of many of the greatest writers of the twentieth century.
