This post is in reference to the work given here:
Ben Jonson (1573-1637) was born at Westminster. He is the most commanding literary figure among the Elizabethans. He is a dramatist, lyric poet and literary critic. With his great learning, his ability and his commanding position as poet laureate, he set himself squarely against his contemporaries and the romantic tendency of the age. For two things he fought bravely - to restore the classic form of the drama, and to keep the stage from its downward course.
