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, epistle and lyric; in prose, literary criticism and English grammar.

It represents an invaluable guide to current critical perspectives, providing generous coverage not only of his plays but also his non-dramatic works.
