61. Ben Jonson : Volpone Brief plot synopsis of each act. http://hompi.sogang.ac.kr/anthony/Volpone.htm

Ben Jonson : Volpone In his earlier plays, Jonson had made characters speak bitterly, expressing direct and dangerous attacks on the social manners of the higher classes. In Volpone that never happens. The Prologue boasts that it was written in five weeks (Jonson was usually a slow writer), all by Jonson himself. Then the play is compared with the more vulgar kind of play where there is horseplay and clowning: And so presents quick comedy refined, As best critics have designed; The laws of time, place, persons he observeth, From no needful rule he swerveth. All gall and copperas from his ink he draineth, Only a little salt remaineth. . . The setting is Venice. Act One begins, as Volpone (the 'fox') and his close servant Mosca (the 'fly') celebrate Volpone's morning 'worship' of his gold: VOLPONE. Good morning to the day; and next, my gold! Open the shrine, that I may see my saint. (Mosca opens the curtain that hides much treasure) Hail the world's soul, and mine! more glad than is The teeming earth to see the longed-for sun Peep through the horns of the celestial ram

The Cambridge Companion to Ben Jonson (Cambridge Companions to Literature) List Price: Price: You Save: Description Ben Jonson is, in many ways, the figure of greatest centrality to literary study of the Elizabethan and Jacobean period. He wrote in virtually every literary genre: in drama, comedy, tragedy and masque; in poetry, epigram, and lyric; in prose, literary criticism and English grammar. This Companion brings together leading scholars from both sides of the Atlantic to provide an accessible, up-to-date introduction to Jonson's life and works. It represents an invaluable guide to current critical perspectives, providing generous coverage not only of his plays but also his non dramatic works.

Matthew Steggle Sheffield Hallam University M.Steggle@shu.ac.uk Steggle, Matthew. "Review of Ben Jonson and Theatre ." Early Modern Literary Studies http://purl.oclc.org/emls/05-1/stegrev.htm Ben Jonson and Theatre is a collection of articles and interviews that grew out of a conference held at Reading University in 1996. Unusually, it combines interviews with actors and directors together with more conventional scholarly papers. The editors are eager to assure us that any appearance of disorganisation is due to "a spirit of a dramatised, Jonsonian discovery" (xiii), rather than anything more chaotic. But does it work, and who would want to read it? Clearly, a big concern of this project is to reunite thespians and academics, two groups who generally regard each other with some suspicion. From this point of view, it is slightly odd that the two extended theatrical interviews with Sam Mendes and Genista Macintosh are in a different, rather ritzier typeface from the rest of the book. On second thoughts, this is perhaps as well, as the thespians say some things that would make a zealous professor's heart break for grief for instance, "In terms of the achievement of intention and their stature as living pieces of theatre, they [

Evans Auburn University at Montgomery bobevans@kaos.aum.edu Evans, Robert C. "Review of Ben Jonson: Poetry and Architecture ." Early Modern Literary Studies http://purl.oclc.org/emls/01-2/rev_rce1.html The appearance of Anthony Johnson's book is only the latest indication of a veritable Renaissance in Jonsonian studies during the past decade or so. Indeed, Johnson's is one of a half-dozen academic monographs to appear in the last twelve months, while the recent publication of the inaugural volume of the Ben Jonson Journal and the convening of a major international conference to plan a new standard edition are just two more signs that interest in this poet may be higher now than at any period since his own lifetime. Why this should be so is a fascinating question, but one reason, surely, must be the extraordinary range and complexity of Jonson's life, mind, and art. Anthony Johnson's study of the links between creative writing and architectural design contributes valuably to our understanding of this poet's complexity, and if even half the arguments he proposes seem plausible, we will need to re-think some of our most common assumptions about Jonson's writing and his intellectual and social milieux.

"On the Famous Voyage": Ben Jonson and Civic Space Andrew McRae University of Sydney andrew.mcrae@english.usyd.edu.au McRae, Andrew. ""On the Famous Voyage": Ben Jonson and Civic Space." Early Modern Literary Studies http://purl.oclc.org/emls/04-2/mcraonth.htm Readers of Ben Jonson have long appreciated the significance of his representations of social space. "To Penshurst" is commonly placed at the forefront of the Jonson canon, seen to typify his preoccupation with the "centred self" of the pre-modern subject, and the location of that subject within a physical and psychological "home." His satiric verse and city comedies have likewise attracted attention, for their disturbing appreciation of the ways in which social and spatial structures in London corrode human values. Jonson's most sustained non-dramatic engagement with his city, however, has received relatively little notice. "On the Famous Voyage," which narrates a journey up the polluted Fleet Ditch from Bridewell to Holborn, is by far the longest poem in Jonson's Epigrammes , and almost twice the length of the famous country-house poem, yet only one critic has considered it worthy of a research article.

Early Modern Literary Studies http://purl.oclc.org/emls/06-1/stegrev.htm This is a chronological study of the rise and fall of the antimasque within Jonson's masques, and it focusses in particular on the form's political content in the more specific sense: its commentary on court intrigue and on royal policy. One of the book's concerns is to situate the antimasque within the wider Jonson canon. Chapter 1 reviews Jonson's poetry, and the ways in which Jonson exploits "the relation between satire and panegyric," relating them to the early masques such as The Masque of Blackness and The Masque of Beauty , which Mickel argues possess in embryo the properties of antimasque. Chapter 2 offers a clear account of the relationships between Arthurian and Augustan in Jonson's chivalric masques, and suggests that the antimasque form developing through these entertainments of 1610-11 should be considered as a relatively close relative of the Roman plays. In the next chapter Mickel considers the antimasques to Hymenaei Love Restored , and Mercury Vindicated from the Alchemists at Court , arguing that all three must be read in strongly topical terms. Chapter 4 relates

"Review of Ben Jonson, Every Man In His Humour and Every Man Out of His Humour ." Early Modern Literary Studies http://purl.oclc.org/emls/07-3/steg2rev.htm Two bold new additions to the Revels series offer a new perspective on the early stages of Jonson's career. Both return to early quartos of the plays in question, bypassing Jonson's magisterialperhaps too magisterial reworkings of them in his 1616 Folio: the plays that emerge are fresh, exuberant, and distinctly unfamiliar. Every Man In stands first in Jonson's notorious Folio Works , although in a heavily adapted form, and it is the Folio version, with its London setting, that went on to have the most influence in the play's subsequent history. It formed the basis for Garrick's successful and long-running adaptation, and has informed most of the criticism of the play. Although both versions have been edited, Herford and Simpson print the Folio version in their seminal twentieth-century edition of Jonson. However, Robert Miola's edition of the play is based on the quarto version set in Florence rather than the later Anglicization. The text is modern-spelling, with in-page apparatus and heavy in-page annotation.

"Jonson's Romish Foxe: Anti-Catholic Discourse in Volpone ." Early Modern Literary Studies http://purl.oclc.org/emls/06-2/brunvol.htm In his Epistle to Volpone Ben Jonson complains about those "that profess to have a key for the deciphering of everything," railing that "[A]pplication is now grown a trade with many." Perhaps Jonson had good reason to protest about "these invading interpreters" as such readings had often led to trouble with authority. The Official papers relating to Jonson's imprisonment for his share in the 1597 lost work The Isle of Dogs reports "Information given upon a lewd play...containing very seditious and scandalous matter". Some years later a letter written to an unknown Lady (probably the Countess of Bedford) by Jonson, again in prison for his part in the 1605 play Eastward Ho , protests that the play is "so mistaken, so misconstrued, so misapplied as I do wonder whether Ignorance, or Impudence be most, who are our adversaries" (H&S I 197).

Marking his Place: Ben Jonson's Punctuation Sara van den Berg University of Washington saravdb@u.washington.edu 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

The (Self)-Fashioning of Ezekiel Edgworth in Jonson's Bartholomew Fair Jean MacIntyre University of Alberta jean.macintyre@ualberta.ca MacIntyre, Jean. " The (Self)-Fashioning of Ezekiel Edgworth in Jonson's Bartholomew Fair Early Modern Literary Studies http://purl.oclc.org/emls/04-3/macijons.html On December 31, 1611, John Chamberlain sent Dudley Carleton, King James's ambassador in Venice, word of an unusual crime: "On Christmas day there was a cutpurse taken in the chappell, even at the Kings elbowe as he was going up to the communion. He was to be tried yesterday and they say shalbe executed at the courtgate" (Chamberlain I, 325). Thanks to the time and place of his crime, and to his impersonation of a gentleman to gain entrance to the royal chapel, the cutpurse, John Selman, became a popular news item. But even before Selman went to the gallows on January 7, 1612, he had become a literary creation in Jonson's Twelfth Night masque Love Restored as "the Christmas Cutpurse," an identity which endured. On the very day he was hanged, an anonymous pamphlet and two extant ballads were registered, and on January 8 and 9 there followed two more ballads now lost. In the autumn Samuel Rowlands published two epigrams about him. Two and a half years later, in Bartholomew Fair , Jonson revived him in a ballad whichWilliam Gilbertson reissued some years later as a broadside with five additional verses.

His f. , who d. before Ben was four, seems to have come from Carlisle, and the family to have originally belonged to Annandale. He was sent to Westminster School, for which he seems to have been indebted to the kindness of W. Camden ( q.v. ), who was one of the masters. His mother, meanwhile, had m. a bricklayer, and he was for a time put to that trade, but disliking it, he ran away and joined the army, fighting against the Spaniards in the Low Countries. Returning to England about 1592 he took to the stage, both as an actor and as a playwright. In the former capacity he was unsuccessful. In 1598, having killed a fellow-actor in a duel, he was tried for murder, but escaped by benefit of clergy. About the same time he joined the Roman Catholic Church, in which he remained for 12 years. It was in 1598 also that his first successful play, Every Man in his Humour , was produced, with Shakespeare as one of the players.
