Book synopsis

One of the greatest English playwrights of the seventeenth century, Ben Jonson was also a deeply influential lyric poet, whose poetry combined classical ideals with a vigorous interest in contemporary life and colloquial language. The "Complete Poems" contains all the volumes of poetry Jonson published in his lifetime - including "Epigrams", "The Forest and Underwoods" - alongside a wide variety of his other poems collected after his death. Ranging from deeply moving pieces such as "On My First Son" and the elegant love lyric "Song to Celia" to brutally satirical poems such as "On Poet-Ape" and the reflective "An Ode to Himself", it offers a powerful celebration of both one man's life, and of an age.
