Excerpt from The Dramatic Works and Lyrics of Ben Jonson: Selected, With an Essay, Biographical and Critical
Camden most reverend head, to whom I owe All that I am in arts, all that I know.
Ben was an apt pupil, and well repaid the generosity of his protector. He was gifted with a prodigious memory, and with a peculiar aptitude for appropriating all the stores of knowledge opened to him, and for vivifying these in his own brain by the mental force of one to whom the past was equally real with the present of human nature.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book is a study of the silent woman as a literary and historical figure, examining the significance of the voiceless woman and her representation in literature through an analysis of women in fiction, drama, and poetry from antiquity to the Renaissance. The author argues that the silent woman has been a persistent figure in literature, representing both the fear and the desire of male authors, as well as anxieties surrounding female speech and agency. The central chapters explore the silent woman as a source of fascination and horror, examining works by Apuleius, Shakespeare, and Hawthorne, among others. The author concludes by suggesting that the silent woman continues to resonate in contemporary culture, representing the tension between the desire for female silence and the fear of female speech.
