	John Ford - LoveToKnow 1911 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		JOHN FORD (1586 - c.1640), English dramatist, was baptized on the 17th of April 1586 at Ilsington in north Devon.
		Ford by no means stood alone among English dramatists in his love of abnormal subjects; but few were so capable of treating them sympathetically, and yet without that reckless grossness or extravagance of expression which renders the morally repulsive aesthetically intolerable, or converts the horrible into the grotesque.
		Ford owes his position among English dramatists to the intensity of his passion, in particular scenes and passages where the character, the author and the reader are alike lost in the situation and in the sentiment evoked by it; and this gift is a supreme dramatic gift.

	Ford, John Criticism and Essays
		For centuries, literary scholars have struggled to comprehend Ford's interest in such subject matter: while many have argued that Ford willingly catered to the decadent tastes of his Caroline peers, others have contented that the playwright's use of the medium of tragedy suggests that there is subtle, didactic moral philosophy at work in Ford's plays.
		The next year, Ford matriculated at the Middle Temple, one of the law schools known as the Inns of Court; contemporary documents indicate that he remained affiliated with the Inns of Court until about 1605 or 1606, when he was expelled from the school for not paying his buttery bill.
		Ford encountered trouble again in 1617, when he and forty other students were suspended for wearing regular caps instead of traditional lawyer's caps.

	The Life of John Webster (1580?-1625?)
		It is assumed that John Webster was born soon after, but since the parish records were destroyed in the Great Fire of London in 1666, no accurate date exists.
		There is a record of a John Webster entered at Middle Temple, one of the Inns of Court, in 1598, but it is not certain that he was John Webster, the playwright.
		It is, however, likely, considering Webster's connections with Templars Sir Thomas Overbury, John Marston, and John Ford, as well as his knowledge of law as evidenced later by his plays.

	John Ford (c.1586-1640)
		Because of his disdain of the orthodox moral code of his time and his sympathetic treatment of forbidden love, John Ford is often regarded as the most modern of Elizabethan and Stuart dramatists.
		He was baptized at Ilsington in Devonshire, April 17, 1586, was probably the John Ford who entered Exeter College, Oxford, in March, 1601, and was certainly the John Ford who was admitted to the Middle Temple in November 1602.
		According to Sykes and others, Ford is responsible for the greater part of the play--it's main structure; the characters of Sir Arthur Clarington, Frank Thorney, and Winnifride; and some part in the character of Susan and in the prose passages, especially those dealing with Old Carter and his household.
