Ben Johnson Benjamin Jonson (c. 11 June 1572 – 6 August 1637) was an English Renaissance dramatist, poet and actor. A contemporary of William Shakespeare, he is best known for his satirical plays, particularly Volpone《福尔蓬奈》, The Alchemist《炼金士》, and Bartholomew Fair, which are considered his best[citation needed], and his lyric poems. A man of vast reading and a seemingly insatiable appetite for controversy, Jonson had an unparalleled breadth of influence on Jacobean and Caroline playwrights and poets 本·琼森（Ben Jonson，约1572年6月11日－1637年8月6日），英格兰文艺复兴剧作家、诗人和演员。他的作品以讽刺剧见长，《福尔蓬奈》（Volpone）和《炼金士》（The Alchemist）为其代表作，他的抒情诗也很出名。 　　英国诗人，剧作家，评论家 。1572年6月11日生于伦敦。主要诗集有《格言诗》、《森林集》、《灌木集》等曾就学于古代史学者坎姆登，并在其资助下到威斯敏斯特学校读书，获得关于希腊、罗马文学的丰富知识。后又博览群书，成为当时学识最渊博的剧作家之一。 His work 1,Drama 2,Poetry Drama Apart from two tragedies, Sejanus and Catiline, that largely failed to impress Renaissance audiences, Jonsons work for the public theatres was in comedy. These plays vary in some respects. The minor early plays, particularly those written for the boy players, present somewhat looser plots and less-developed characters than those written later, for adult companies. 《人各有癖》（Every Man in His Humor) 琼森的第一部喜剧，奠定了他作为剧作家的身份。在剧中的每个角色都代表了一种特定的性情，也可称为怪癖。 Poetry Jonsons poetry, like his drama, is informed by his classical learning. Some of his better-known poems are close translations of Greek or Roman models; all display the careful attention to form and style that often came naturally to those trained in classics in the humanist manner. Jonson, however, largely avoided the debates about rhyme and meter that had consumed Elizabethan classicists such as Campion and Harvey. Accepting both rhyme and stress, Jonson uses them to mimic the classical qualities of simplicity, restraint, and precision.
