An Examination Of The Charges Maintained By Messrs. Malone, Chalmers, And Others, Of Ben Jonson's Enmity, Etc. Towards Shakespeare (1808)

""An Examination Of The Charges Maintained By Messrs. Malone, Chalmers, And Others, Of Ben Jonson�������s Enmity, Etc. Towards Shakespeare"" is a book written by Octavius Graham Gilchrist in 1808. The book is primarily a response to the claims made by scholars such as Edmond Malone and Alexander Chalmers that Ben Jonson, a contemporary of Shakespeare, held a strong enmity towards the famous playwright. Gilchrist examines the evidence presented by these scholars and argues that their claims are unfounded. He provides a detailed analysis of Jonson's works and his relationship with Shakespeare, arguing that the two were actually close friends and that Jonson held great admiration for Shakespeare's writing. The book is an important contribution to the ongoing debate about the relationship between Jonson and Shakespeare and sheds new light on the literary history of the period.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
