Jonson's Antimasques : A History of Growth and Decline
by Lesley Mickel
Hardcover
Ashgate Publishing Company; March 1999
"[D]iscusses in detail those court entertainments which
contributed significantly to the genre's evolution and
development. Her approach is innovative in that she
examines these works in relation to Jonson's poetry
and dramatic works. This reveals some idea of the way
in which Jonson perceived the relationship between
satire and panegyric, as well as highlighting the related,
if oppositional, views of state power which he expresses
in the Roman plays and in the masques."

Ben
Jonson and Self-Love :
The Subtlest Maze of All
by Robert Edward Wiltenburg
Hardcover
Univ of Missouri Pr, February 1990
"Through a perceptive analysis of Cynthias
Revels, Volpone, Epigrammes, and The Forrest,
Robert Wiltenburg has made an important
contribution to Jonson scholarship by
establishing that Jonson's growing
artistic mastery went hand in hand with
his maturing treatment of self-love."
—The Publisher
"This book is well written, full of complex
and perceptive close readings, and raises
two ... interesting propositions about Ben
Jonson's works: that the plays and nondramatic
poems need to be read together, and that in
both genres Jonson represents 'one of our
great poets of love.'"—Renaissance Quarterly
