Ben Jonson (originally Benjamin Jonson /?d??ns?n/; c. 11 June 1572 – 6 August 1637) was an English playwright, poet, and literary critic of the seventeenth century, whose artistry exerted a lasting impact upon English poetry and stage comedy. He popularised the comedy of humours. He is best known for the satirical plays Every Man in His Humour (1598), Volpone, or The Foxe (1605), The Alchemist (1610), and Bartholomew Fayre: A Comedy (1614), and for his lyric poetry; he is generally regarded as the second most important English dramatist, after William Shakespeare, during the reign of James I.Jonson was a classically educated, well-read, and cultured man of the English Renaissance with an appetite for controversy (personal and political, artistic and intellectual) whose cultural influence was of unparalleled breadth upon the playwrights and the poets of the Jacobean era (1603–1625) and of the Caroline era (1625–1642).

#Fact
1He was buried standing up.
2The quotation on his gravestone is ambiguous. It reads "O Rare Ben Jonson", which can be taken literally, but it can also be taken to be the Latin phrase "Orare Ben Jonson (Pray for Ben Jonson)".
3His most famous play, "Volpone", has been filmed several times in several languages, as well as used as the basis of several free adaptations, but oddly enough, it has yet to be filmed as Jonson actually wrote it - in Elizabethan blank verse; this despite the fact that Jonson was one of the most famous English dramatists of his time. It has, however, been presented as a videotaped performance on American television.
4He was a personal friend of William Shakespeare, and wrote a sonnet praising him in the 1623 published edition of Shakespeare's complete works.
