琼森为舞台和化装舞厅写作的职业生涯很长，以至于他的风格创新和改变的想法即使在他有生之年也很常见。 1630 年代，评论家提到他的力量自《沃尔波恩》和《炼金术士》的辉煌时期以来有所下降，并预计德莱顿认为这些最近的作品是琼森的“老年”（琼森当时大约六十岁）。事实上，《每个人都在他的幽默》的广泛修订版的存在证明，到 1615 年或 1616 年，琼森本人意识到，自该剧首次创作以来的 15 年左右的时间里，他对对话、人物、情节甚至背景的看法已经发生了变化。
Jonson’s career writing for the stage and the masquing hall was so long that the idea of innovation and change in his style was commonplace even in his lifetime. In the 1630s commentators referred to a decline in his powers since the glory days ofVolponeandThe Alchemist, anticipating Dryden’s idea that these recent works were Jonson’s ‘dotages’ (Jonson being then around sixty). Indeed, the existence of an extensively revised version ofEvery Man In His Humouris evidence that by 1615 or 1616 Jonson himself was conscious that his notions about dialogue, character, plot and even setting had altered in the 15 or so years since the play had been first composed.
