Overview

""The English Grammar,"" by Ben Jonson and edited by Alice Vinton Waite, offers a fascinating glimpse into the study of English during the early 17th century. Ben Jonson, a renowned playwright and poet of the Elizabethan and Jacobean eras, brings his keen intellect to bear on the structure and usage of the English language. This work, published posthumously, reflects the era's understanding of grammar and provides valuable insights into the evolution of linguistic thought. Waite's edited edition makes Jonson's grammar accessible to modern readers, retaining its historical significance while clarifying certain archaic elements. Students of language, literature, and history will find this book an invaluable resource for understanding the roots of modern English grammar and the intellectual milieu in which it was developed. A crucial text for anyone interested in the historical development of English language studies.
