    Extractions: Sheridan is the playwright credited for resuscitating English drama during the late eighteenth century. He was born into a talented and well educated family. His father, Thomas Sheridan, had an M.A. from Trinity and a reputation second only to David Garrick as an actor. Thomas was manager of the Smock Alley Theater in Dublin, and the author of Lectures on Elocution , published in 1762, which influenced acting and rhetoric during that period. Sheridan's mother, Francis Chamberlaine Sheridan, was a novelist and playwright, most noted for Memoirs of Miss Sidney Biddulph: Extracted from her Own Journal, published in 1761. His grandfather was a Oxford graduate and clergyman who established a school in Dublin which earned the family more than £1000 a year. Sheridan was baptized on November 4, 1751 but his exact birthday is not known. He was privately tutored in Dublin until the family moved to England in 1762. There, Sheridan attended Harrow School with the intent of becoming a lawyer. At school, he was renowned for his pranks and practical jokes but was never caught by his masters, Dr. Sumner and Dr. Parr. He was a good student and poet and upon matriculation he came home to be privately tutored in law when he was eighteen.

25. A Traitor's Kiss : The Life Of Richard Brinsley Sheridan, 1751-1816
    A Traitor's Kiss The Life of Richard Brinsley Sheridan, 17511816.  
    http://hallbiographies.com/british/107.shtml
    
    Extractions: Richard Sheridan is primarily remembered for three brilliant plays: The Rivals The School for Scandal , and The Critic The Rivals , for example, features a man who forces his son to marry the woman he himself is in love with), and romantic intrigues become a forum for discussing political issues and the nature of theater itself. Sheridan's major plays were all written by the time he was 28. While melodramas, adaptations, and pantomimes followed, his career as a playwright was just a prelude to a long involvement in other fields, most notably managing London's Drury Lane theater and a political career that eventually led to a seat in the House of Commons. Little has been written about his later political and business life. There are romantic intrigues, political battles, and dodges from the debt collectors aplenty in Sheridan's later life, though they seem but a lengthy epilogue to the wit and creativity of his early years. O'Toole is wonderfully lucid, however, in explaining the struggles for Irish autonomy in this period (Sheridan would all his life, to the detriment of his social standing, identify himself as Irish), and he offers an in-depth analysis of the elaborate political and social arena of the time. Particularly well drawn are Sheridan's complex romantic relationships with his wives, involving infidelities and duels. But when compared to the brilliance of his early plays, the historical details of his later life seem somewhat lackluster.

    Extractions: Sheridan, Richard Brinsley (1751-1816) Britischer Dramatiker und Politiker, dessen Werke zu den besten englischen Sittenkomödien ( comedy of manners ) des 18. Jahrhunderts gehören. Sheridan wurde in Dublin geboren und studierte an der Universität Oxford . 1775 wurden drei seiner Stücke, das Drama "The Rivals" "Die Nebenbuhler" ), die Farce "Saint Patrick's Day" "Der Sankt-Patricks-Tag" ) und die Oper "The Duenna" mit großem Erfolg im Londoner Covent Garden aufgeführt. Die Opernpartitur hatte sein Schwiegervater, der Komponist Thomas Linley , geschrieben, mit dem Sheridan das Drury Lane Theatre in London erwarb. Ab 1776 leitete Sheridan das Theater und führte dort mehrere seiner geistreichen Satiren über die moderne Gesellschaft auf, die sich von den damals beliebten rührseligen Komödien stark unterschieden. Zu seinen Werken gehören "The School for Scandal" "Die Lästerschule" ) und "The Critic" "Der Kritiker" "The School for Scandal" gilt als sein Meisterwerk. Es besteht aus einer Reihe lebendiger Szenen, in denen er in einem gepflegten Plauderton die damaligen Schwächen der Gesellschaft durch die Handlungen seiner Figuren darlegt. "The Critic" , ein kurzes Stück, das nach einem Stück mit voller Länge aufgeführt werden sollte, zeigt die Arbeit eines Autors, der mit der Theaterwelt vertraut ist. Es ist eine scharfe Satire auf die damaligen Bühnenschriftsteller und ihre Kritiker. Charakteristische Merkmale der Werke

    Extractions: I was familiar with Sheridan from his theatrical comedies, plays that have become standard in the repertoire. I was dimly aware of his service in Parliament. I wasn't aware of his extensive involvement in the great political questions of the day, particularly the Irish questions, nor of his centrality in the great debates of the late 18th centurythe American war for independence, the expanding power of the East India Company, and many others. The book covers all of this, but what elevates this bio from the typical is the author's focus on Sheridan's rhetorichis use of language. The richness of wordplay, situation, and satire in his plays turns out to be just a special case of a characteristic lifestyle of thought and interaction. It's just splendid to read this sort of thing from an intelligent writer. The book gets you thinking, and there are points at which you may challenge the author's conclusions, but you're not going to find many biographies of this depth, thoroughness, and thoughtfulness. A great read!

    Extractions: -B- Blake, William Blake was a poet, a painter and an engraver. Chambers writes that Blake's poetry "include some of the purest lyrics in the English language and express his ardent belief in the freedom of the imagination and his hatred of rationalism and materialism Browning, Elizabeth Barrett Suffered from a childhood spinal injury and was "doomed to invalidism and seclusion from the world" until she met Robert with whom she eloped, much to the consternation of her father. The Brownings fled to Italy, and there they spent the rest of their days (at least Elizabeth did). The Browning romance was celebrated in Rudolf Besier's The Barretts of Wimpole Street . Her poems run deep with religious feeling, with her love of Italy, and her love of Robert.
