Beaumont, Francis In 1613 Beaumont married an heiress, Ursula Isley of Sundridge in Kent, and retired from the theatre. As a playwright, Beaumont remains a shadowy figure whose contributions to drama are not as clear as Fletcher's. In the three masterpieces of the Beaumont and Fletcher collaboration-- The Maides Tragedy, Philaster, and A King and No King--Beaumont is assumed to have been the controlling hand, since the plays manifest a firmer structure than Fletcher's single or collaborative efforts. search.eb.com /shakespeare/micro/58/62.html   (639 words)

Francis Beaumont: a biographical sketch Francis Beaumont was born 1584, the son of Sir Francis Beaumont of Grace-Dieu, Leicestershire, a judge of the common pleas.

Beaumont and Fletcher There is, in Beaumont and Fletcher, a 'constant recognition of gentility,' as Emerson has remarked; this, and their picturesque descriptions, their genuine sentiment, and their occasional flashes of imagination revealing intense passion, constitute their chief merits, and interfuse through their drama the spirit of romance." [1] Both men came from the upper class, Beaumont being the son of a chief justice, and Fletcher the son of a clergyman who later became Lord Bishop of London. The Fletcher and Beaumont plays show how luxuriant and forceful, even outside Shakespeare, was the romantic Elizabethan style, and how brilliant were some of his contemporaries. www.theatredatabase.com /17th_century/beaumont_and_fletcher_001.html   (1036 words)
