  Ben Jonson s London examines the purpose, scope, and success of Jonson s use of London settings as place names. Chalfant demonstrates that Jonson brought the same judicious, erudite, and dramatically functional insight to his handling of London topography as he did to his well-known use of classical, mythological, and iconographical detail.
