İmza

İngiltere'nin ikinci büyük tiyatro adamı (Shakespeare'dan sonra) olarak kabul edilir. Yaşamının İngiltere'de oyuncu ve yazar olarak adını duyurana kadarki bölümü hakkında pek fazla bir şey bilinmemektedir. 1598 yılında Every man in his humour adlı komedisi William Shakespeare'in kurduğu tiyatro topluluğu tarafından oynanmıştır. Shakespeare ile Jonson özel yaşamlarında da birbirlerinin yakın arkadaşlarındandır. 1604 yılında I. James tarafından saraya çağrılmış bu işte 20 yılını harcamıştır, artık sarayda gözden düşünce yeni komediler yazmaya karar vermişse de eski gücünü yitirdiğini fark etmiştir. Hayatının bir kısmına 2011 yapımı Anonymous filminde değinilmiştir.
