Ben Jonson’s London examines the purpose, scope, and success of Jonson’s use of London settings as place names. Chalfant demonstrates that Jonson brought the same judicious, erudite, and dramatically functional insight to his handling of London topography as he did to his well-known use of classical, mythological, and iconographical detail.
Ben Jonson was a Londoner. He lived there from infancy, left for only brief periods of travel, and used various locales in or near London as the settings for eleven of his seventeen plays. Ben Jonson's London opens with a discussion of the purpose, scope, and success of Jonson's use of London settings as Placenames. Chalfant demonstrates that Ben Jonson brought the same judicious, erudite, and dramatically functional insight to his handling of London topography-from overall settings to very brief mentions-as he did to his well-known use of classical, mythological, and iconographical detail.
