Description
In this book, Lynn S. Meskill explores the centrality of envy in the works of Ben Jonson, Shakespeare's greatest literary rival. The book shows that Jonson perceived spectators and readers as filled with envy, and created strategies to protect his work from their distorting and potentially 'deadly' gaze.
