by BEN JONSON
Selected and introduced by Helen Gardner Reader in Renaissance English Literature in the University of Oxford
Helen Gardner writes: These poems have been chosen to display the range of good writing in Jonson's non-dramatic poetry. Some of them are trifles, others express his strongly held convictions. All of them display Jonson's command of tone, the reward of his constant concern with the proper use of language, his devotion to his art. Readers
Derek Smith and Gabriel Woolf
