Explanation:
Benjamin Jonson ( 11 June 1572 – 16 August 1637 ) was an English playwright and poet, whose artistry exerted a lasting influence upon English poetry and stage comedy. He popularised the comedy of humours. He is best known for the satirical plays Every Man in His Humour ( 1598 ), Volpone, or The Fox ( 1606 ), The Alchemist ( 1610 ) and Bartholomew Fair ( 1614 ) and for his lyric and epigrammatic poetry. " He is generally regarded as the second most important English dramatist, after William Shakespeare, during the reign of James . "
Jonson was a classically educated, well - read and cultured man of the English Renaissance with an appetite for controversy ( personal and political, artistic and intellectual ) whose cultural influence was of unparalleled breadth upon the playwrights and the poets of the Jacobean era ( 1603 – 1625 ) and of the Caroline era ( 1625 – 1642 ).
