Ben Jonson, who was with Shakespeare and Marlowe ane of three master playwrights of his age, was too one of its near original and influential poets. Known all-time for the state house poem 'To Penshurst' and his moving elegy 'On my Showtime Son', his work inspired the whole generation of seventeenth-century poets who declared themselves the 'Sons of Ben'. This edition brings his three major verse publications, Epigrams (1616), The Forest (1616), and Underwood (1641) together with his large body of uncollected poems to create the largest collection of Jonson'southward poetry that has been published. It thus gives readers a comprehensive view of the wide range of his achievement, from satirical epigrams through graceful lyrics to tender epitaphs. Though he is often seen as the preeminent English poet of the plain mode, Jonson employed a wealth of topical and classical innuendo and a compressed syntax which mean his poetry can require equally much annotation for the mod reader every bit that of his friend John Donne. This edition not merely provides comprehensive explanation and contextualization aimed at educatee and non-specialist readers alike, but presents the poems in a modern spelling and punctuation that brings Jonson's poesy to life.

The introduction as well includes a curtailed biography of Puttenham based on a multifariousness of new and unfamiliar data: he married an older and much richer woman whom he desperately mistreated; indulged habitually in a life of sexual predation; was repeatedly sued, arrested, and imprisoned; survived several supposed attempts on his life; and died, nearly indigent, in 1591.
