Download or read book Refashioning Ben Jonson written by Julie Sanders and published by Springer. This book was released on 1998-10-15 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection of multi-authored essays not only refashions and revises critical understandings of the early modern dramatist Ben Jonson and his canon of work, but is also self-reflexive about the process. It includes original essays by both established and emergent Jonson scholars, and employs materialist, feminist and queer theory in the production of its readings of Jonsonian playtexts and masques, familiar and otherwise. It is intended to encourage new approaches by students to this central figure from the Renaissance.
