The Cambridge Edition of the Works of Ben Jonson
7 Volume Set

'Every jot and tittle of Jonson's grand and staggering career is detailed in this magnificent Cambridge edition of his works … The new Cambridge Jonson is a treasure-house. It should be snapped up by every library worthy of the name.' Peter Craven, The Weekend Australian

'The Cambridge Jonson is a major achievement. Its contributions to scholarship are numerous and significant. For many works, it offers the best edition available. It achieves its aim to give a compelling account of the author and his works, with the chronological presentation working effectively to this end. … Finally it can be affirmed, both with approval and with a hint of irony, that in its project of replacing the Oxford edition the new Cambridge Jonson undoubtedly succeeds.' Cahiers Élisabéthans

'The combined forces of thirty leading scholars in drama, poetry, textual criticism and manuscript studies have resulted in the best edition of a Renaissance dramatist in our time. And with a complementary electronic edition in production, three times the size of these seven handsome volumes, Cambridge has done Jonson proud.' Brian Vickers, Times Literary Supplement

'… a cause for celebration …' Andrew Hadfield, Daily Telegraph

'… a remarkable feat of cooperative scholarship: this edition gathers contributions from a team of thirty scholars, including Electronic Editor David Gants and Associate Editors Karen Britland and Eugene Giddens. Jonson lived in an extraordinary age. His work, as much as his life, expressed its variousness, danger, energy, and ambition. Here it all is. He would have been delighted.' Lisa Gorton, Australian Book Review

'Its production values are impeccable, and it is a pleasure to handle and to read. … Anything anyone wants to know about Jonson is now obtainable at the click of a mouse … That such a project as The Cambridge Edition of the Works of Ben Jonson can be brought to fruition at all, in the prevailing academic publishing climate, is a miracle. That it has been completed in only fifteen years … is an amazing feat.' Paul Dean, The New Criterion
