	George Colman - LoveToKnow 1911
		GEORGE COLMAN (1732-1794), English dramatist and essayist, usually called "the Elder," and sometimes "George the First," to distinguish him from his son, was born in 1732 at Florence, where his father was stationed as resident at the court of the grand duke of Tuscany.
		Colman's father died within a year of his son's birth, and the boy's education was undertaken by William Pulteney, afterwards Lord Bath, whose wife was Mrs Colman's sister.
		Released at last through the kindness of George IV., who had appointed him exon of the Yeomen of the Guard, a dignity disposed of by Colman to the highest bidder, he was made examiner of plays by the duke of Montrose, then lord chamberlain.

		George Colman the Elder: "The Jealous Wife" and "The Clandestine Marriage".
		The opening scene between Polly and her nurse suggests Lydia Languish’s discussion with Lucy of the sentimental novels of the circulating library, and enforces the satirical hits of Colman’s prologue at the sentimental novel.
		It is not surprising that Colman, who made the sentimental novel a target for satire, turned to Fielding’s Tom Jones for the ground-work of a genuine comedy.

	Colman Biographical Sketch
		George Colman the Younger was the most popular English dramatist at the turn of the nineteenth century.
		George the Younger was born in October of 1762, years before the marriage, and although no definitive record has survived, it is probably safe to assume that the boy was indeed the natural son and of George Colman and Sarah Ford.
		Colman was probably correct in thus ascribing some of the blame-Kemble had also set the rehearsal schedule and opening date-but he clearly breached decorum and taste with the manner of his complaint.

		Colman was educated at the Westminster School, achieving academic distinction as a King's Scholar.
		Colman's greatest popular and critical success, the collaboration The Clandestine Marriage, tells the story of a businessman's daughter who marries an aristocrat and the difficulties and misunderstandings resulting from their social inequality.

	Elder
		The Elder tree (Sambucus nigra) is one of the sacred trees of Wicca and Witchcraft and represents the thirteenth month on the Celtic Tree Calendar.
		The word Elder is derived from an old Anglo-Saxon word ‘aeld’ meaning fire, an association given to the Elder because of its use.
		The Elder’s trunk therefore is not formed by one upwardly growing mass like the trunks of other trees, but is a patchwork mess of curving drooping stems.

	Critical Edition of the Jealous Wife and Polly Honeycombe by George Colman the Elder (1732-1794)
		In the future when the historian sifts through the debris of our era, oversaturated with information, once the dross has been cast aside, more than a few of the things that remain will be bound in the covers of The Edwin Mellen Press.
		These plays by George Colman are two of the best from the mid-18th century, of very high quality and extremely funny.
		The Jealous Wife was the first work on the English stage to have been based (in part) on Fielding's novel Tom Jones, and the main character was one of David Garrick's most famous roles.

		Her elder sister is about to marry one Sir John Melvil; and Lovewell's idea is that Melvil's uncle, the old and grand Lord Ogleby, to whom he, Lovewell, is distantly related, might bring his wealth and influence to bear on Mr Sterling to accept the marriage.
		Simon Chandler is Melvil, a pale, mean-mouthed little ferret, who throws a spanner in the works by suddenly falling for Fanny and ditching the elder sister.
		Miss Sterling (Deborah Findlay) takes this in very bad part indeed: the composure of the spoilt, smug snob, for whom a good address clearly has an erotic appeal, is replaced by the indignant shrieks of the snubbed harpy.
