English dramatist and poet, 1572-1637, author of Every Man in his Humour, The Poetaster, Sejanus and numerous other works
Fishburn and Hughes: "An English dramatist, contemporary with Shakespeare, whose best-known plays were Every Man in his Humour (1601), Volpone (1606) and The Alchemist (1610). The assertion that Ben Jonson defined his contemporaries 'with bits of Seneca' is an allusion to Timber; or Discoveries made upon Men and Matter (1640), a posthumous collection of essays whose text is derived in part from Seneca the Elder, Pliny and Quintilian. Seneca's inspiration is to be observed particularly in essay 63 on poets, 69 on style, 70 on famous orators, and 72 on other writers, including Bacon. In 63, for example, referring to the undeserved applause bestowed on the poetry of John Taylor (1578-1653), Jonson comments sarcastically: 'Not that the better have left to write or speak better but that they that heare them judge worse', an echo of Seneca's 'non illi peius dicunt sed hi corruptius judicant' (Controversiae 3, praef.). Writing of Shakespeare and the claim that 'he never blotted a line', Jonson commented: 'Would he had blotted a thousand.' Shakespeare, he explains, flowed with such facility that at times 'he should have been stopped': 'sufflaminandus erat', an allusion to the emperor Augustus' remark about the orator Atevius (Seneca, Controversiae 4.7)."
