The Ben Jonson Page
( 1572 - 1637 )
Major Works
Ben Jonson and the Cavalier Poets, edited by Hugh Maclean, and Ben Jonson's Plays and Masques, edited by Robert M. Adams, are published by Norton. They present Jonson's representative work with many helps. Ian Donaldson's Ben Jonson, in the Oxford Authors, is a good supplement as it presents some of Jonson's prose works. Oxford World's Classics has two volumes of Jonson's plays. Finally, Penguin publishes Three Comedies, edited by Michael Jamieson.
