One of the greatest English playwrights of the seventeenth century Ben Jonson was also a deeply influential lyric poet whose poetry combined classical ideals with a vigorous interest in contemporary life and colloquial language. The Complete Poems contains all the volumes of poetry Jonson published in his lifetime - including Epigrams The Forest and Underwoods - alongside a wide variety of his other poems collected after his death.
