Topic: George Chapman


  
  George Chapman (? 1559-1634)
Ben Jonson." Chapman died in the parish of St. Giles in the Fields, and was buried on the 12th of May 1634 in the churchyard.
The one play of Chapman's whose popularity on the stage survived the Restoration is Bussy d'Ambois--a tragedy not lacking in violence of action or emotion, and abounding even more in sweet and sublime interludes than in crabbed and bombastic passages.
In most of his tragedies the lofty and labouring spirit of Chapman may be said rather to shine fitfully through parts than steadily to pervade the whole; they show nobly altogether as they stand, but even better by help of excerpts and selections.

 Criticism: Virtues obscured: George Chapman's social strategy   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
Economically George Chapman belongs with these poets, but he stands strikingly apart because, though he clearly understands how one succeeds in a patronage system and though he participates actively in the commercial theater, he belligerently advocates an obscurity that, given his social ambitions, seems self-defeating and illogical.
Chapman's grandfather on his mother's side had been a gentleman and sergeant of the royal buckhounds, and he spent some of his youth in the household of Sir Ralph Sadler.(1) He may have attended both universities, and he was widely read in classical and continental Latin literature.
We need to go further to decipher what Chapman is being obscure about, and here our search comes full circle: he makes the extraordinary social gesture of boasting of his obscurity precisely because he is a poor man raising the "vulgar" issue of the injustice of wealth and power in a predominately aristocratic culture.

Chapman was friends with Oxford's daughter Susan de Vere the Countess Montgomery, the wife of the patron of the Shakespeare First Folio.
