'A silent and loving woman is a gift of the lord'This 'excellent comedy of affliction' enjoyed enormous prestige for more than a century after its first performance: for John Dryden it had 'the greatest and most noble construction of any pure unmixed comedy in any language'. Its title signals Jonson's satiric and complex concern with gender: the play asks not only 'what should a man do?', but how should men and women behave, both as fit examples of their sex, and to one another? The characters furnish a cross-section of wrong answers, enabling Jonson to create riotous entertainment out of lack, loss and disharmony, to the point of denying the straightfowardly festive conclusion which audiences at comedies normally expect.

Benjamin Jonson (1572-1637) was an English Renaissance dramatist, poet and actor. A good friend of William Shakespeare, he is best known for his satirical plays, particularly Volpone and The Alchemist which are considered his best, and his lyric poems. A man of vast reading and a seemingly insatiable appetite for controversy, Jonson had an unparalleled breadth of influence on Jacobean and Caroline playwrights and poets.

Ben Jonson's play of the agreeable versus disagreeable behaviors of men and women begins by situating, at the center of the plot, a boy disguised as a woman whose name is Epicoene. A misanthrope, Morose, has hopes of marrying "her." Morose hates the noise of society and dreams of living in total silence. Epicoene, also called the Silent Woman, is compliant and meek. When she passes all of Morose's derogatory interrogation with flying colors and they are married, she suddenly begins scolding him loudly and infringing on his peaceful surroundings by bringing in her raucous friends. Morose's greedy nephew, Dauphine, promises to find a way to end this marriage as long as he receives a sumptuous allowance for his effort. After the… [cont.]

Ben Jonson (1572-1637), actor, playwright, satirist, and lyric poet, studied under William Camden at Westminster, worked as a bricklayer, served in the army, and was imprisoned twice--once for sedition and once for murder. Epicoene: or, The Silent Woman (1609) is considered one of his greatest comedies, upon which, along with Volpone (1607), The Alchemist (1610), and Bartholomew Fair (1614), his reputation rests. At his death, he was regarded as the leading man of letters in England, and was a major influence on the Cavalier poets, including Robert Herrick, Sir John Suckling, Thomas Carew, and Richard Lovelace. Lester A. Beaurline was professor of English at the University of Virginia. He was an editor of Studies in Bibliography, the works… [cont.]
