	The scholar of scandal by Brooke Allen
		Sheridan saw himself as a parliamentarian first, a playwright second, but posterity has never agreed: when he was buried in Westminster Abbey it was not upon the spot he would have chosen, at the side of his longtime comrade-in-arms, Charles James Fox, but in Poet’s Corner.
		Richard Brinsley Sheridan was descended from Donnchadh O Sioradain, a seventeenth-century Gaelic-speaking Irishman who was a convert to Protestantism, modified his name to Dennis Sheridan, became minister to the Protestant Bishop of Kilmore, William Bedell, and participated in Bedell’s project of translating the Old Testament into Irish.
		Sheridan urged discretion upon the couple, and when the question of whether or not the prince was married was brought up in Parliament, Sheridan rushed into the breach, managing to distract public fears with a speech that was a masterpiece of equivocation.

		Sheridan's speech, on the wrongs inflicted upon the Begums of Oudh, lasted for 5 hours and 40 minutes and was hailed by many who heard it as the greatest piece of political oratory ever (141).
		Sheridan's was an important voice on many of the key issues facing Britain; he established himself through his positions on post-revolutionary France, on colonial policy, and on Ireland and Catholic emancipation.
		Sheridan had become involved in politics without knowing it would become his chief stage, but as he devoted himself to his political career at the expense of his management of Drury Lane, his reputation for debt, bad management, sexual misadventure, and drinking influenced public perception of his character.

		Third son of Thomas and Frances Sheridan, born in Dublin on the 30th of October 1751.
		Sheridan spoke for more than five hours, and the effect of his oratory was such that it was unanimously agreed to adjourn and postpone the final decision until the House should be in a calmer mood.

		As in the case of Goldsmith, Sheridan’s importance is found in the new wine which he poured into old bottles.
		But, whereas authors of the sentimental school flavoured their work with emotions pertaining to woman’s affairs, Sheridan perceived that there was another element of good breeding, quite different but equally modern.
		The plot was taken from Wycherley’s The Country Wife, and, though the dialogue has much of Sheridan’s brilliant phrase-making and whimsical humour, the chief literary merit of the play must be sought in the lyrics, with their vigorous directness and touch of classical culture.
