John Crowne: His Life and Dramatic Work is a biography written by Arthur Franklin White in 1922. This book is a comprehensive account of the life and works of John Crowne, an English playwright who lived in the late 17th and early 18th centuries. The book begins with a brief introduction to Crowne's life and background, including his education and early career. It then goes on to provide a detailed analysis of his dramatic works, including his most famous plays, such as The Country Wit, Sir Courtly Nice, and The Ambitious Statesman. The book also explores Crowne's relationships with other playwrights of his time, including William Congreve and John Dryden, and discusses the political and social context in which his plays were written and performed. Throughout the book, White provides a rich and nuanced portrait of Crowne as both a playwright and a person, drawing on a wide range of sources to shed light on his life and times. Overall, John Crowne: His Life and Dramatic Work is an essential resource for anyone interested in the history of English drama and the cultural and political context in which it was produced. It provides a fascinating glimpse into the life and works of one of the lesser-known playwrights of the Restoration era, and sheds light on the broader cultural and historical forces that shaped the development of English theater in the late 17th and early 18th centuries.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
