By Felix Emmanuel Schelling

Book Overview

""Ben Jonson and the Classical School"" by Felix E. Schelling is a critical study of the works and literary theories of English playwright and poet Ben Jonson, who was a prominent figure in the Renaissance period. Schelling focuses on Jonson's adherence to the classical tradition, particularly the works of ancient Greek and Roman writers, and how this influenced his own writing and ideas about literature. The book examines Jonson's plays, including his comedies and tragedies, and his poetry, as well as his critical essays and prefaces. Schelling also explores Jonson's relationship with other writers and thinkers of his time, such as Shakespeare and Francis Bacon, and the broader cultural and historical context in which he lived and worked.
