Answer 2

Benjamin Jonson is a well-known Elizabethan comic dramatist. Benjamin "Ben" Jonson was an English playwright and poet. Benjamin "Ben" Jonson was an English playwright and poet. Jonson's artistry had a long-lasting impact on English poetry and stage comedy. He popularized satirical plays well as his lyric and epigrammatic poetry.

Some of Jonson plays are-

• Every Man in His Humour (1598),
• Volpone, or The Fox (c. 1606),
• The Alchemist (1610), and
• Bartholomew Fair (1614).

Ben Jonson was born in Westminster, near London, in 1572. Jonson's first dramatic success came with the play Every Man in His Humour. This play was the first example of a new comic form known as "the comedy of humours," and it made him a celebrity. King James I favoured Jonson, who wrote over thirty masques for court performance. King James I appointed him poet laureate, the official poet of the Court, in 1616. This position also came with an annual pension, allowing Jonson to live comfortably for the rest of his life. On the other hand, Jonson was ahead of his time in writing plays about Common man that is everyday people rather than re-enacting legends from bygone eras. Some regard him as a forerunner of the bourgeois sensibility that would dominate literature for the next three centuries.
