Summary | "Shakespeare, Ben Jonson, Beaumont and Fletcher" by Samuel Taylor Coleridge is a critical examination of the works of these renowned playwrights, written in the late 19th century. This literary work provides detailed notes and lectures analyzing the drama, poetic elements, and characterizations within their plays, focusing particularly on Shakespeare's contributions to the theatrical landscape. Coleridge delves into the intricacies of poetry and drama, exploring the significance of these authors in the evolution of literary expression. The opening of Coleridge’s work lays a foundation for understanding the essence of poetry and its distinctions from other forms of writing, such as science and prose. It begins with a definition of poetry that highlights its role in evoking pleasure and emotional resonance. Furthermore, Coleridge reflects on the characteristics of Greek drama and its evolution into the more complex forms found in Shakespeare's works. He discusses the rich interplay between tragic and comic elements and emphasizes the necessity of audience engagement in drama, setting the stage for deeper analyses of individual plays from Shakespeare and his contemporaries.
