42. Matthew Steggle - Charles Chester And Ben Jonson - SEL: Studies In English Liter Essay by Matthew Steggle from SEL Studies in English Literature. http://muse.jhu.edu/journals/studies_in_english_literature/v039/39.2steggle.html

SEL Studies in English Literature 1500-1900 Charles Chester and Ben Jonson Matthew Steggle In his [Walter Raleigh's] youthful time was one Charles Chester, that often kept company with his acquaintance: he was a bold, impertenent fellowe, and they could never be at quiet for him; a perpetuall talker, and made a noyse like a drumme in a roome. So one time at a taverne, Sir W. R. beates him and seales up his mouth, i.e. his upper and neather beard, with hard wax. From him Ben Jonson takes his Carlo Buffono (i.e. Jester) in Every Man out of his Humour John Aubrey, Brief Lives As it stands, John Aubrey's anecdote about the origin of Carlo Buffone appears improbable. Jonson's imagination seems too fertile to have neededor wantedsuch an obviously external model for the punishment of his braggart, and in recent times Aubrey's allegation has fallen into critical neglect. The purpose of this article is to argue, however, that there is substance to Aubrey's story that should not be dismissed so lightly. Although there are no grounds to believe that the original incident ever took place as narrated by Aubrey, it can be shown that Charles Chester did exist; that he was a tavern railer who knew and fell out of favor with Raleigh; that he mixed with the Middle Temple wits whose company Jonson also cultivated; and that many of Jonson's colleagues vilified him in terms strikingly similar to those in which Jonson attacks Carlo Buffone. Furthermore, this article draws attention to unease expressed by Jasper Mayne as to whether or not Carlo was a representation of an actual person and to numerous passages in

Encyclopedia Jonson, Ben Jonson, Ben, , English dramatist and poet, b. Westminster, London. The high-spirited buoyancy of Jonson's plays and the brilliance of his language have earned him a reputation as one of the great playwrights in English literature. After a brief term at bricklaying, his stepfather's trade, and after military service in Flanders, he began working for Philip Henslowe as an actor and playwright. In 1598 he was tried for killing another actor in a duel but escaped execution by claiming right of clergy (that he could read and write). His first important play, Every Man in His Humour, was produced in 1598, with Shakespeare in the cast. In 1599 its companion piece, Every Man out of His Humour, was produced. In The Poetaster (1601) Jonson satirized several of his fellow playwrights, particularly Dekker and Marston, who were writing at that time for a rival company of child actors. He collaborated with Chapman and Marston on the comedy Eastward Ho! (1604). A passage in the play, derogatory to the Scots, offended James I, and the three playwrights spent a brief time in prison. Jonson's great period, both artistically and financially, began in 1606 with the production of

Jonson, Ben. Sejanus. London: Printed by G. Elld for Thomas Thorpe, 1605. Ben Jonson's Sejanus is remarkable for its extensive printed marginalia; the margins of the 1605 text are virtually encrusted with citations to classical sources. The marginalia serves several functions. Jonson had previously been imprisoned for charges of sedition in Eastward Ho! and the Isle of Dogs . As he explains in his opening letter "To the Readers," the meticulous arrangement of citations along the border of his play serves to prove his "integrity in the story." Jonson deflects charges of sedition against Sejanus by using his literary antecedents to produce a literary-historical alibi. The play's marginalia also works to protect Jonson from an audience that extends beyond the Privy Council. The first performance of Sejanus (1603) was an unmitigated disaster; the 1605 printed play seeks to reconfigure this reception, creating a "distinct reading text" (Jowett 280). Evelyn Tribble notes that Sejanus represents "an early attempt on the part of Jonson to determine readership by dictating the form his printed book would take" (147). Furthermore, as Richard Newton has discussed, a key element of Jonson's work was a desire to impose his own rules for reading, rules that would extend beyond his historical moment and into the future with his text. In the interest of this project, he "labors throughout his writing to appropriate to himself the epithet 'classical'" (39) and to "tie his works to the classics" (34).

Ben Jonson's Ancestry and Arms In 1618, when he was about forty-five years old, the English dramatist, poet and scholar Ben Jonson (1572-1637) set out for his ancestral homeland, Scotland.He made the journey entirely by foot and spent more than a year and a half north of the border. Jonson became a burgess of Edinburgh and visited many notable persons. His most famous stay was with the poet William Drummond of Hawthonden. Drummond recorded his discussions with Jonson in his Conversations. It is from Drummond that we know what Jonson said about his paternal ancestry. Jonson told Drummond that his grandfather came from Carlisle, and before that, he thought, from Annandale. If this is the case, the grandfather must have been a Johnstone. Jonson also told Drummond that his arms were "three spindles or rhombi." These arms are often described as "the device of the Johnstones of Annandale" in biographies of Jonson. The undifferenced arms of Johnstone of That Ilk are blazoned in heraldic language as Argent, a saltire Sable, on a chief Gules, three cushions Or

"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.

Jonson, Ben Ben Jonson (c. 1572-1637) is best known as a poet and a playwright, a rival of William Shakespeare on stage and John Donne in verse, and a model for Restoration comedy and the neoclassical poetic tradition of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. He was one of the leading scholars of his day, having translated both Aristotle and Horace into English, written a grammar of English in Latin, and accumulated one of the largest personal libraries in England. He was also, for a time, the most prominent literary force in the court masque, a theatrical form of central political importance. Jonson's reputation as a critic stems from three sources: his practice, in which he championed the neoclassical virtues of imitation, proportion, and restraint; his personal influence on an entire generation of younger poets; and his recorded critical pronouncements. The latter are, for a major critic, surprisingly scarce, confined to an aphoristic collection of observations and notes titled Timber, or Discoveries, a collection of conversations recorded by Sir William Drummond, and various prologues and epistles he routinely attached to his poems and plays.

document.write(""); JONSON, BEN Newbury in Berkshire. He was then engaged in practice mainly in London, till in 1849 he was appointed assistant secretary to the Geological Society of London. In 1862 he was made professor of geology at the Royal Military College, Sandhurst. Having devoted his especial attention to fossil microzoa, he now became the highest authority in England on the Foraminifera and Entomostraca. He edited the 2nd edition of Mantell’s Medals of Creation (1854), the 3rd edition of Mantell’s Geological Excursions round the Isle of Wight (1854), and the 7th edition of Mantell’s Wonders of Geology (1857); he also edited the 2nd edition of Dixon’s Geology of Sussex (1878). He was elected F.R.S. in 1872 and was awarded the Lyell medal by the Geological Society in 1890. For many years he was specially interested in the geology of South Africa. JONES, WILLIAM (1726—1800), English divine, was born at Lowick, in Northamptonshire on the 3oth of July 1726. He was descended from an old Welsh family and one of his progenitors was Colonel John Jones, brother-in-law of Cromwell. He was educated at Charterhouse School, and at University College, Oxford. There a kindred taste for music, as well as a similarity in regard to other points of character, led to his close intimacy with George Home (q.v.), afterwards bishop of Norwich, whom he induced to study Hutchinsonian doctrines. After obtaining his bachelor’s degree in 1749, Jones held various preferments. In 1777 he obtained the perpetual curacy of Nayland, Suffolk, and on Home’s appointment to Norwich became his chaplain, afterwards writing his life. His vicarage became the centre of a High Church coterie, and Jones himself was a link between the non-jurors and the Oxford movement. He could write intelligibly on abstruse topics. He died on the 6th of January 1800.

Parenthood Summary Ben Jonson wrote this elegy after the death in 1603 of his eldest son, Benjamin, aged seven. The poet addresses the boy, bidding him farewell, and then seeks some meaning for his loss. Jonson blames himself, rhetorically at least, arguing that he hoped too much for his son, who was only on loan to him. Now that the seven years are up, the boy has had to be returned. Jonson tries to argue that this is only fair and his presumptuous plans for the boy's future were the cause of his present sense of loss. He then questions his own grief: why lament the enviable state of death when the child has escaped suffering and the misery of aging? He cannot answer this question, simply saying "Rest in soft peace" and asking that the child, or perhaps the grave, record that his son was Jonson's "best piece of poetry," the creation of which he was most proud. He concludes by vowing that from now on he will be more careful with those he loves; he will be wary of liking and so needing them too much.
