Refashioning Ben Jonson casts new light on the canonical Renaissance dramatist and contemporary of Shakespeare, Ben Jonson. This collection of essays by both established and up-and-coming scholars of the early modern period adopts a diverse range of approaches in order to revise, review, and reshape readings of Jonson's dramatic writings, both those for the elite space of the Jacobean and Caroline courts and those for the public theatres of seventeenth-century London.
