	Ben Jonson
		He appeared first as a playwright in the late years of the sixteenth century, at the moment when Shakespeare and the romantic comedies were at the height of their popularity.
		To some extent he was obliged to conform to the prevailing taste; but his natural inclination was toward the classic and regular style rather than toward the romantic; and his "humour" was satirical rather than sentimental.
		He influenced nearly all the writers of the seventeenth century, and his peculiar type of play has persisted on the English speaking stage to the present time.

	GO BRITANNIA! Wales: Welsh Literature - 17th Century Religious Literature
		In 1625, James was succeeded as king by Charles I, for whom Welsh support was vital in his attempts to hold off the powers that united against his obstinate wish to rule without Parliament.
		Before leaving the seventeenth century, we should mention the Welsh poets George Herbert, Henry Vaughan, and Thomas Traherne, all of whose writings more properly belong to the English school of metaphysical poets and thus do not belong in a discussion of Welsh literature (Perhaps a glimpse of what was to come?).
		Henry Vaughan, nevertheless, was able to speak and write in Welsh and was certainly aware of Welsh cultural and historical traditions as well as being influenced by the landscape of the Usk Valley.

	Wrong Side of the River: London's disreputable South Bank in the sixteenth and seventeenth century. Jessica A. Browner
		Furthermore, during the sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries the population of London and its immediate suburbs grew much more rapidly than the population of the country as a whole, attracting immigrants from the rest of England as well as from a continent distracted and damaged by religious wars.
		Writers of this so-called rogue literature -- the most popular of whom was Robert Greene -- generally concluded that unless measures were promptly taken (the publicist usually had his own recipe), immorality and anarchy would destroy the commonwealth.
		When Dryden, late in the seventeenth century, wrote, "The playhouse is their place of traffic, where / Nightly they sit to sell their rotten ware," he was alluding to a state of affairs that had already been widely commented upon in the Elizabethan period and earlier.

	Ben Jonson: Biography
		During the first years of the century Jonson formed friendships with some of the greatest wits of the day and with such eminent patrons as the Countess of Bedford, the Countess of Rutland, Lady Wroth, and the Earl of Pembroke.
		Legacy-hunting, so frequent in Roman literature, had impressed him as fertile soil for imposture and fraud, and for the materials of the play he drew suggestions from numerous classical sources, among which may be mentioned Lucian's dialogues, Horace's satires, and Libanius.
		From Plautus' Mostellaria he may have derived the quarrel scene at the opening of the play and the idea of the unexpected return of the owner of a house in which rogues are carrying on their practices; and he may have taken certain minor suggestions from Plautus' Pœnulus and Erasmus' colloquy on the alchemist.

	The Norton Anthology of English Literature: The 17th Century: Introduction
		The earlier seventeenth century, and especially the period of the English Revolution (1640–60), was a time of intense ferment in all areas of life — religion, science, politics, domestic relations, culture.
		That ferment was reflected in the literature of the era, which also registered a heightened focus on and analysis of the self and the personal life.
		It is Albion herself, not King James, who is seated in the center holding the emblems of sovereignty; her male conquerors stand to the side, and their smaller size and their number suggest something unstable in monarchy and patriarchy.

	Some Notes to John Donne Studies
		Zickler concerns herself - overmuch, it seems, in form rather than subject - with Donne's casuistical subjectivity, which she opposes to modern "psychoanalytic subjectivity," arguing that it informs all of his work and "mark[s] the emergence of an incipiently modern literary subjectivity" (17).
		Arguing for an "organic" link between 17th-Century literature and "casuistic practice - meditational poetry, for example --," Zickler claims "that the importance of casuistic discourse to Donne's writing inheres in his radical structuring of dialogue, and in an epistemology embodied in the psychoanalytic notion of transference" (17).
		Once again (not to call out for my own psychoanalysis, though I dispel such a possibility by sanely pointing out that irony as well as this one), the poems seem far, far less vexing than their critics.
