Ben Jonson
What did the famous dramatist Ben Jonson declare about Shakespeare in the dedication to the 1623 First Folio of the plays of William Shakespeare?
Jonson said "He was not of an age but for all time."
He was not of age but for all time means?
Basically, he meant that Shakespeare had something which would be relevant at any time, not just in the time he wrote it. Shakespeare was not "topical" most of the time. Jonson, on the other hand, filled his plays with references to people and ideas which were well-known when he was alive but nobody knows about now, which makes Jonson's plays quite dated and hard to follow compared with Shakespeare's.
Who said he was 'not for an age but for all time'?
These words are about Shakespeare, they are the words of Shakespeare's great friend and contemporary, Ben Jonson. The quotation comes from Jonson's poem, To the memory of my beloved, found in the First Folio of Shakespeare's works, published in 1623.

shakespeare
Who gave the title ''man of all times'' to William shakespeare?
In the posthumous collection of Shakespeare's plays, the First Folio of 1623, a number of people wrote letters and verses introducing the work and praising its author. One such set of verses was written by the very famous Elizabethan playwright Ben Jonson who was a good friend of Shakespeare's. His poem is very well known and is frequently used to establish or corroborate facts about Shakespeare's life. The line you allude to reads, "He was not of an age, but for all time !" which is easily misquoted.
