Poetaster: Ben Jonson - The Revels Plays
Tom Cain
Set in Ancient Rome, "Poetaster" offers one of the first and most subtle statements in English of the Augustan cultural ideal. Jonson contrasts Augustus' wise rule with an English polity dominated by malice, intrigue and envy. This text examines these different strands interwoven by Jonson.
