| Sumario: | Chapter 4 of the book "Ben Jonson and the Poetics of Patronage" is presented. It discusses the critical fact that Jonson's poetry was written mainly for his patrons. Jonson could never afford to forget that his first responsibility was to his readers. His preoccupation with his audience, far from enhancing his creativity, remained a challenge for him. His commissioned works like "A Private Entertainment" and "Panegyre," were written mainly for the nobles who supported him. |
