Ben Jonson and Self-Love: The Subtlest Maze of All

By Robert Wiltenberg and Robert Edward Wiltenburg

Despite an inauspicious origin as the adopted son of a London bricklayer and such misadventures as imprisonment for murder, Ben Jonson rose to prominence in England's literary scene at the beginning of the 17th century. Even in an age of versatile literary figures, Jonson's life as actor, playwright, poet, critic, translator and scholar was a remarkable one.
