4.9/5 (30487 ratings)

Description:This book focuses on the influence of classical authors on Ben Jonson's dramaturgy, with particular emphasis on the Greek and Roman playwrights and satirists.This book illuminates the interdependence of the aspects of Jonson's creative personality by considering how classical performance elements including the Aristophanic 'Great Idea, ' chorus, Terentian/Plautine performative strategies, and 'performative' elements from literary satire manifest themselves in the structuring and staging of his plays. This fascinating exploration contributes to the 'performative turn' in early modern studies by reframing Jonson's classicism as essential to his dramaturgy as well as his erudition.This book is also a case study for how the early modern education system's emphasis on imitative-contaminative practices prepared its students, many of whom became professional playwrights, for writing for a theatre that had a similar emphasis on the recycling and recombining performative tropes and structures.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
