Abstract
- The article presents criticisms of Ben Jonson's play, "The New Inn." A summary of the play is presented. Written to mock neoplatonic romanticism, the play surprisingly showed sympathy to its original target according to Eric Linklater. The play, according to C. G. Thayer, is helped by good writing and highlighted by its many puns. The play is influenced by Philip Massinger's play "The Parliament of Love."
