Ben Jonson was a prominent English playwright and poet who popularized the comedy of humours. His significant works include satirical plays like Every Man in His Humour, Volpone, The Alchemist, and Bartholomew Fair, along with his lyric and epigrammatic poetry. Jonson, regarded as the second most important English dramatist after Shakespeare, was a classically educated and well-read figure of the English Renaissance, with a broad cultural influence over playwrights and poets during the Jacobean and Caroline eras.
