The book explores the life and works of Benjamin Jonson, a pivotal figure in English literature known for his innovative contributions to comedy and poetry. He popularized the comedy of humours and is celebrated for his satirical plays such as Every Man in His Humour, Volpone, The Alchemist, and Bartholomew Fair. Jonson's influence on stage comedy and his mastery of lyric and epigrammatic poetry solidify his status as the second most significant English dramatist of the early 17th century, following Shakespeare.
