The English Renaissance era was the birthplace of many writers inspired by the artistic and cultural movement that took place in the 15th and 17th centuries. At that time there was a little place called Mermaid Tavern, right in the heart of London. Here, a group of men, who would later become some of the most renowned writers of the Renaissance, met and talked about literature. This network of friends was led by the famous Ben Jonson, so it is not surprising that the group acquired the name Sons of Ben. During these informal meetings, these writers would discuss their views on literature, what influences them, and how they can influence each other. Sir John Suckling and Robert Herrick were just a few of the men who participated in the group and became considered some of America's finest writers. The core of the Sons of Ben was the famous Ben Jonson, Shakespeare's most talked about rival and friend at the time. time. Jonson's work primarily revolved around emerging urban society. He often wrote about intelligence in the form of understanding, rejecting narrow-mindedness, fanaticism, extremism and snobbery. Jonson was considered a cavalier poet, someone who sought to express the joy and simple gratification of festive things in a much more vivid way than the traditional works of their predecessors. The intention of their works was often to promote the crown, particularly King Charles I (definition provided by Wikipedia). In fact, Jonson was so passionate about the idea of ​​cavalier poetry that he carved the phrase Leges Conviviales, meaning "Rules of Conviviality" above the fireplace in the room where the Sons of Ben gathered. This was the only formal "rule" for the followers and it was a rule that went all the way to middle of paper... the short and refined ones of the poem compared to those are quite simple and generally easy to live with, which is a characteristic of cavalier writing. Like Sir John Suckling, Robert Herrick found his writing style during his time with Sons of Ben. In conclusion, the British Renaissance period gave birth to many fabulous writers, each with their own unique writing style. One of these styles was cavalier poetry. The writer Ben Jonson was a famous advocate of cavalier poetry and imposed these writing ideas on his followers during meetings at a local tavern. This group of men were later to be known as the Sons of Ben and included famous poets such as Sir John Suckling and Robert Herrick. These men wrote about living in the moment and being open-minded. It is definitely a style widely used today and we can only thank these 17th century writers for introducing it to the mainstream..
