Jeremy Collier - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Jeremy Collier (September 23, 1650 - 1726-04-26) was a theatre critic, non-juror bishop and theologian. |
| | Born in Cambridgeshire, Collier was educated at the University of Cambridge, receiving the BA (1673) and MA (1676). |
| | In the history of English drama, Collier is known for his attack on the comedy of the 1690s in his Short View of the Immorality and Profaneness of the English Stage (1698), which draws for its ammunition mostly on the plays of William Congreve and John Vanbrugh. |
