 George Farquhar
EORGE FARQUHAR was born in Londonderry, Ireland, in 1677 or 1678.
Farquhar's importance as a dramatist consists in his having combined many of the elements of the comedy of his time and evolving them into a form which was later developed by Goldsmith and Sheridan.
The Twin Rivals (1702) and its Preface constitute Farquhar's reply to Collier; the play, in the author's words, sets out to prove that "an English comedy may answer the strictness of poetical justice." This was precisely the "poetical justice" which Addison attacked in the Spectator, the conventional reward of the virtue and punishment of vice.

 David Farquhar
David Farquhar was born in 1928 in Cambridge, New Zealand and educated at Canterbury, Victoria and Cambridge universities, and the London Guidhall.
The dance-suite Ring Round the Moon is Farquhar’s classic: it is populous, unpretentious and seemingly effortless, yet each movement is actually a triumph of compression that manages to combine the shapeliness of dance-tunes with the plashier riches of harmony and sonority.
In the opening paragraphs of Evocation for violins (1957), we recognize immediately that Farquhar’s voice is in a deep old groove – one shared by Bartók’s ‘night music’ – and that he is hauling into sound an awareness sanctioned by bleak folk wisdom and by a high tragic understanding of life.

Farquhar says Chinese fiction of the period began to make almost a fetish of the concrete and mundane after decades of Maoist abstraction.
Farquhar became part of a Chinese medical school work unit between 1982 and 1984, that she describes as more closely resembling the Chinese daily life of the 1970s than that of the later 1980s.
Farquhar says she tried to write her book in a way that stimulated appetites in the readers — "to generate experiences through reading that could produce a kind of carnal comradeship between readers and the Chinese subjects I was talking about."

 Farquhar v. Alaska National Insurance Company (4/6/01) sp-5382

Farquhar argues that under the express language of the supplementary payments provision, ANIC is obliged to pay prejudgment interest beyond the one million dollar policy limit.
And Farquhar's argument that public policy has been violated because he was insufficiently compensated for his injuries does not pertain to insurer liability for interest.
