Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Eastward Hoe Ben Jonson was born at Westminster in the year 1573. He was "poorly brought up," but by the assistance of the antiquary, William Camden, attended Westminster School. Jonson seems not to have gone to either university, although he later received degrees from both Oxford and Cambridge. After a short term at his stepfather´s trade, bricklaying, Jonson went to Flanders as a soldier. He returned to London about 1592 and married, beginning to write for the stage probably in 1595. In 1597 Jonson was in the employ of Henslowe, and one of the Admiral´s players; and in the following year he was mentioned by Meres, in his Palladis Tamia, as one of the best contemporary writers of tragedy. In that year Jonson killed a fellow-actor, one Gabriel Spenser, "in duel," for which he was tried and found guilty. He escaped the gallows by pleading the benefit of clergy. While in prison Jonson became a Roman Catholic, but returned to the faith of the Church of England twelve years later. Thrown out of the Admiral´s company for his misdeed, Jonson offered their rival, the Lord Chamberlain´s company (in which Shakespeare was already a prominent shareholder), his Every Man In His Humour, which was accepted, and proved in 1598 an immediate success, Shakespeare acting apart. The Case is Altered, a comedy never acknowledged by Jonson, appears to belong to this year. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
