Inhaltsangabe

The book ""The Comical Satire of Every Man Out of His Humor: Reprinted from Linge's Quarto of 1600"" by Ben Jonson is a comedic play that satirizes the behavior of people who are out of sync with their natural inclinations or ""humors."" The play was originally published in 1600 and has been reprinted in this edition from the original Linge's Quarto. The play is set in London and follows the lives of various characters, each of whom represents a different ""humor"" or personality type. The characters include a melancholy man, a braggart soldier, a miserly merchant, and a foolish courtier, among others. The play explores their interactions with each other and the absurd situations that arise from their conflicting personalities.The play is written in a style that is both witty and satirical, with Jonson using humor to comment on the social and political issues of his time. It is a work of social commentary that is still relevant today, as it skewers the foibles and follies of human behavior in a way that is both entertaining and thought-provoking.Overall, ""The Comical Satire of Every Man Out of His Humor"" is a classic work of English literature that is both entertaining and insightful. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of comedy and satire, as well as those who enjoy a good laugh.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Jonson was a classically educated, well-read, and cultured English Renaissance man with an appetite for controversy (personal and political, artistic and intellectual), and his cultural influence was unparalleled on the playwrights and poets of the Jacobean and Caroline eras (1603-1625 and 1625-1642, respectively). In midlife, Jonson stated that his paternal grandfather, who "served King Henry 8 and was a gentleman," was a member of the extended Johnston family of Annandale in Dumfries and Galloway, a genealogy supported by the three spindles (rhombi) in the Jonson family coat of arms, one of which is a diamond-shaped heraldic device used by the Johnston family. Jonson's father lost his property, was imprisoned, and, as a Protestant, faced forfeiture under Queen Mary. He became a clergyman after his release and died a month before his son was born. His widow married a master bricklayer two years later. Jonson attended school in St Martin's Lane, London. Later, a family friend paid for his education at Westminster School, where he studied under William Camden (1551-1623), an antiquarian, historian, topographer, and officer of arms.
