 Marston, John

A brief, bitter literary feud developed between Marston and Jonson--part of " the war of the theatres." In The Poetaster (produced 1601) Jonson depicted Marston as Crispinus, a character with red hair and small legs who was given a pill that forced him to disgorge a pretentious vocabulary.
In 1605 Marston again collaborated with Jonson and with George Chapman on Eastward Ho, a comedy of the contrasts within the life of the city.

John Marston, a man of good Shropshire family and son of John Marston, a member of the Middle Temple, was probably born, and certainly educated, in Coventry.
Marston began his literary career as a satirist, changed his muse and entered the dramatic field in the last year of the sixteenth century, but deserted the theatre for the church in 1607.
Marston was thus faithful to the sentiment which, in derision of the ambition of most poets, induced him, in his earlier life, to dedicate his works to forgetfulness.

 General Metalware and Holloware
John Marston is best remembered as the manufacturer of Sunbeam bicycles, cars and motorbikes.
According to Robert Gordon Champ, in 1851 John and his father Richard "signed indentures with Edward Perry of Richard Perry, Son and Co., tinsmiths and japanners of Wolverhampton"; and that their Jeddo works, which were founded in 1790, were on the south side of Jeddo Street, next to the site that would later become Sunbeamland.
Whether Marston took up manufacturing in these metals upon taking over Walton's, or whether this was an independent development, is not known, but the latter seems more likely.

Warren's reading of Marston proves, therefore, to be that sort of reading described in my first epigraph by Paul Valery: Warren reads "with some quite personal goal in mind" and through his reading acquires that power necessary for his own long and arduous attempt to define himself.
Marston's concern for the "soul" and the New Critical concern for oncological aspects of reading and criticism bear further consideration.

Marston, having chosen Pietro for redemption, shows this redemption to the audience through a melancholy song that makes the Duke out to be a sympathetic figure.
John Marston's The Malcontent is viewed by many critics to be his best and most popular play.
As R.W. Ingram writes, Marston uses The Malcontent to explore still further the artifice of the theater and its implications; and his plot, character, and meaning are shaped by this exploration.

 Reviews of The Drama of John Marston
This continuing paucity of critical regard is especially surprising given the astonishing generic range and inventiveness of Marston’s plays as well as their incisive representations of a particularly volatile period in Early Modern culture.
As one of the principal players in the so-called War of the Theaters and as director of St. Paul’s, Marston proved to be one of the most powerful forces behind the resurgence of the private theater.
Both authors, in fact, demonstrate that Marston’s pre-modern condition is decidedly not equivalent to our postmodern one, that in order to understand the dynamics of Marston’s theatricality we must understand the contingent historical nature of the production of his plays and, subsequently, confront the differance of Jacobean and postmodern ideologies.

While Fotheringham does present some interesting ideas concerning scenes Marston might have written for the expressed purpose of giving Robert Coles (the actor playing Alberto/Andrugio) enough time to change costume, his theory that the actor playing Feliche must have played some other character is less defensible.
O.E.D., Marston would have understood the word to refer to an elaborate iron framework on which burning tapers were placed -- in other words, a sort of funeral candelabra.

Marston is among the first rank of English Renaissance dramatists, right up there with Marlowe, Middleton, and Webster.
Marston is a rather anomalous figure in many ways; in the middle of a successful career as a dramatist, he became a clergyman and completely dissociated himself with the theater, even refusing to allow his name to be used on a printed collection of his plays.
Marston's works themselves are quite unique, blending tragedy and comedy in a highly satirical combination.

But Warren's work on Marston and Marston's contributions to Elizabethan literary theory must not be forgotten, even if Warren and his critics have allowed it to remain too long neglected.
Rather, Warren engages Marston's literary theory at the point of his feud with the contemporary critical penchant for form at the expense of substance and obscurity at the expense of concreteness.
At such a time, Marston "seemed to acquire the ability to strike an echo even among critics who professed to be baffled by him or to despise him" (31).
