Abstract
Shakespeare, wrote Ben Jonson, was both the “soul of the age” and “for all time”. His work, that is, encapsulated the life of
his society – but it also transcended space and time, acquiring universal importance. That duality is especially important
when Shakespeare is considered in an Irish context.
