| biography:
| English playwright. Little is known of him, though he is supposed to have been at one time clerk of St Andrews, Holborn. He collaborated with several other writers, especially Thomas Dekker, but is best known for his two tragedies, The White Devil (1612) and The Duchess of Malfi (1623), which have been staged more often than any plays of his time, apart from those of Shakespeare. |
