Book Description
Excerpt from English Satire and Satirists The word satire, then, has more than one meaning. As there is a Comic Spirit, so there is a Satiric Spirit; and as there is a form of the drama we call Comedy, so there is a form of verse we call Satire. But as the Comic Spirit may manifest itself in the novel or the poem no less than in the comedy, so the Satiric Spirit may appear in prose as well as in verse, and both in verse and in prose it assumes manifold shapes. There are satirical novels and tales, essays and allegories. There are satirical lyrics and even satirical odes; and Paradise Lost itself: contains fragments of satire. What may be called the classical satire of England is derived from the satire of the Latin poets; and as the Latin satirists adopted the hexameter, so their English imitators used the English equivalent, the heroic couplet. When Hall wrote the often-quoted lines, I first adventure: follow me who list, And be the second English satirist.

Book Description
Excerpt from English Elements in Jonson's Early Comedy Several years ago I conceived the theory that Jonson was a much more sympathetic student of English literature than has commonly been supposed. In studying the problem, however, I have become convinced that his indebtedness was less to specific works used as sources than to certain specific trends in English literature with which he was thoroughly in accord. The present study is an attempt to follow out that idea. In view of the multitudinous phases of Jonson's work, as of all Elizabethan literature, it has proved convenient, even necessary, to limit my field, and the period of early comedies seems to furnish the best basis for the study. Not only do these plays form a fairly isolated group in Jonson's work, a group significant in the development of his peculiar literary powers and of his characteristic type of comedy, but they belong to a decade in English literature so decided and revolutionary in its trends that Jonson's relation to contemporary letters can be more easily tested in them than at any other period of his work. The closing decade of the sixteenth century, with its varied tendencies, its literary revolution, its plasticity, and its nice balance between free criticism and easy creation, offered a chance for the development of individual force such as perhaps no other like period of the drama offered, and yet scarcely allowed any writer to escape the impress of the time. Jonson's relation to the movements of English literature at the end of the sixteenth century is the primary problem of this study, though at the same time I have attempted to trace the trends in his work as far back as they are discernible. The general point seems fairly clear that Jonson actually studied English literature and used the work of predecessors according to the Renaissance formulae for imitation somewhat as he imitated Latin literature but less closely of course. Assuredly he was observant of the trends and conventions in English literature and readily utilized its types so far as they were suitable for comedy. It is my hope that I have presented enough evidence to throw some light on the relation of Jonson to his fellows and on the significance of literary trends for his work.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Knight of the Burning Pestle: A Play Literary History. The first edition of The Knight of the Burning Pestle appeared in quarto form in 1613. The title page gives no clue as to authorship, but states merely that the play, entitled "The famous Historie of the Knight of the Burning Pestle," was "printed for Walter Burre, and is to be sold at the signe of the Crane in Paules Church-yard." This first edition, however, contains the dedication of the play to Robert Keysar, and thus throws some light upon the date of composition. The play seems not to have been a success on the stage at its first appearance; perhaps its playful satire may have given offence to the London citizen. A revival, however, took place in 1635, and the play was acted at the court of Queen Henrietta. In Sir Henry Herbert's MSS. we read "The 28 Feb. [1636] The Knight of the Burning Pestle played by the Q[een's] men at St James." Two quarto editions appeared in 1635, and from their title-pages we learn that it was "acted by her Majesties Servants at the Private House in Drury Lane. The author's names were now given: Written by {Francis Beaumont and John Fletcher} Gent." About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Every Man in His Humor The entire version of 1601 was reprinted for the first time by Carl Grabau in the Shakespeare-jahrbuch (vol. 38) in 1902. He employed for his purpose the two original copies of the quarto in the British Museum. He appended to the text a discussion of the date of the play, and a comparison of this version with that of the Folio of 1616. He has corrected the more Obvious typograph ical errors, and placed the original r'eadings in foot notes. Grabau's text does not correspond in every parti cular with W.
