The Poetaster, or His Arraignment by Ben Jonson Pdf

"The Poetaster, or His Arraignment" by Ben Jonson is a satirical comedy that lampoons the literary and theatrical scene of Jacobean London. Set in ancient Rome, the play follows the rivalry between two poets, Horace and Crispinus, who vie for fame and recognition in the court of Emperor Augustus. Jonson uses the characters of Horace and Crispinus to satirize contemporary figures in the London literary world, including himself and his fellow playwrights. Through witty dialogue and biting humor, Jonson skewers the pretensions and vanities of those involved in the arts, as well as the political intrigues of the time. At the heart of the play is the character of Tucca, a swaggering braggart who serves as a parody of the Elizabethan stage clown. Tucca's antics add to the play's comedic elements and provide a colorful contrast to the more serious themes of artistic integrity and cultural criticism.

Anthology Vol IV Jon Bun Onion: A Poetaster's Progress by Christopher Bellamy Pdf

What were you to me? More than you’ll ever know! In life you were the man for all seasons, From whom I sought the guiding light of reason, The dearest friend that never needed my amends, The older brother who guided me like no other, You who opened a door through which I walked, But never alone, for you were on the other side, too. Yes, you were more to me than you’ll ever know, Yes, you are more to me than you’ll ever know. And it’s thanks to you that now I grow into a person whose light you showed, A light, a torch to you for my life and more. For all you’ve given me – for what little I gave you in return.

The Poetaster by Ben Jonson Pdf

Poetaster is a celebrated satirical comedy written by Ben Jonson that formed an important element in the infamous War of the Theatres of 1599–1601. Set in the court of Emperor Augustus, the central plot revolves around the conspiracy of the poetaster Crispinus and his friend Demetrius, and Pantilius Tucca, to slander Horace, who represented Jonson. The trial is then taken before Augustus, with Virgil as a judge. More than a dig at the two rivals, John Marston and Thomas Dekker, this play expressed Jonson's views on "the poet's moral duties in society."

Roman Women in Shakespeare and His Contemporaries by Domenico Lovascio Pdf

Roman Women in Shakespeare and His Contemporaries explores the crucial role of Roman female characters in the plays of Shakespeare and his contemporaries. While much has been written on male characters in the Roman plays as well as on non-Roman women in early modern English drama, very little attention has been paid to the issues of what makes Roman women ‘Roman’ and what their role in those plays is beyond their supposed function as supporting characters for the male protagonists. Through the exploration of a broad array of works produced by such diverse playwrights as Samuel Brandon, William Shakespeare, Matthew Gwynne, Ben Jonson, John Fletcher, Philip Massinger, Thomas May, and Nathaniel Richards under three such different monarchs as Elizabeth I, James I, and Charles I, Roman Women in Shakespeare and His Contemporaries contributes to a more precise assessment of the practices through which female identities were discussed in literature in the specific context of Roman drama and a more nuanced understanding of the ways in which accounts of Roman women were appropriated, manipulated and recreated in early modern England.

Shakespeare and the Poets' War by James Bednarz Pdf

In a remarkable piece of detective work, Shakespeare scholar James Bednarz traces the Bard's legendary wit-combats with Ben Jonson to their source during the Poets' War. Bednarz offers the most thorough reevaluation of this "War of the Theaters" since Harbage's Shakespeare and the Rival Traditions, revealing a new vision of Shakespeare as a playwright intimately concerned with the production of his plays, the opinions of his rivals, and the impact his works had on their original audiences. Rather than viewing Shakespeare as an anonymous creator, Shakespeare and the Poets' War re-creates the contentious entertainment industry that fostered his genius when he first began to write at the Globe in 1599. Bednarz redraws the Poets' War as a debate on the social function of drama and the status of the dramatist that involved not only Shakespeare and Jonson but also the lesser known John Marston and Thomas Dekker. He shows how this controversy, triggered by Jonson's bold new dramatic experiments, directly influenced the writing of As You Like It, Twelfth Night, Troilus and Cressida, and Hamlet, gave rise to the first modern drama criticism in English, and shaped the way we still perceive Shakespeare today.
