John Day (1574-1640?) was an English dramatist of the Elizabethan and Jacobean periods.
He became one of Philip Henslowe's playwrights, collaborating with Henry Chettle, William Haughton, Thomas Dekker, Richard Hathway and Wentworth Smith, but his almost incessant activity does not seem to have paid, to judge by the small loans, of five shillings and even two shillings, that he obtained from Henslowe.
The first play in which Day appears as part-author is The Conquest of Brute, with the finding of the Bath (1598), which, with most of his early work, is lost.

 King - William Tyndale, John Foxe, John Day, and Early Modern Print Culture
John Foxe, the martyologist, and John Day, the Elizabethan master printer, played central roles in the emergence of literate print culture following the death of William Tyndale, translator of the New Testament and parts of the Bible into English.
Although Foxe and Day carried over marginalia from the 1570 text, three additional glosses elaborate upon the significance of Tyndale's achievement: "The Scripture in the vulgar tongue, a special manifesting of truth"; "Ignorance of Scripture cause[s] all mischief and errors in religion"; and "The reprobate are always offended at the truth" (B1v-2).
According to the mythic worldview of Foxe, Day, Bale, Crowley, and their co-religionists, The Prayer and Complaint of the Plowman Unto Christ and related works of agrarian discontent are in touch with a "true" apostolic tradition that extended to Tyndale from early Christian apostles via Wyclif, thus bypassing the apostolic succession claimed by the papacy.

Uniquely for Shakespeare, Pericles and The Two Noble Kinsmen acknowledge their source material: the former by having John Gower on stage as a character presenting a dramatization of the story he told in his Confessio Amantis, and the latter by referring directly to Chaucer in the prologue.
Vickers overstated what he knew about how dramatists collaborated, but he was right to assert that the practices are in the realm of the knowable and that drawing on Foucauldian models of creativity is a mistake for materialist scholars (Vickers 2002, 506-41).
For Kidnie, there is no way to "render an early modern script entire" (Kidnie 2000, 462) because we have what she considered merely the textual fragment of the original play; we lack the thoughts imparted orally by the dramatist to the actors in rehearsal, and whatever emerged from their collaborative effort.
