Did Robert Herrick Know and Respond to the
Works of Ben Jonson?
This one is almost too
easy, and therein lies the problem--how to find a non-obvious relationship?
Herrick writes poems to Jonson, calls him his "father," and
writes a poem that
shares a Jonsonian aesthetic, "Delight in Disorder" and "Still to Be Neat."
Look for your thesis in evidence of changes
between the older and younger poet's works. As always, scholarly
biographies would help establish the historical context for your introduction.
