Description
Ben Jonson: A Life by Ian Donaldson is a comprehensive biography that explores the life and works of one of England's most celebrated writers. Jonson's life was marked by drama and controversy, from his early days as a young man serving in the Low Countries to his later years as principal masque-writer to the Stuart court. He walked to Scotland and back at the age of twenty stone, seemingly driven by a combination of curiosity and a wager. This biography sheds light on Jonson's complex personality, his relationships with other notable figures of the time, and the circumstances that shaped his writing.
