	Thomas Dekker - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Thomas Dekker is believed to have been born in London around 1572, but nothing is known for certain about his youth.
		Dekker was partly responsible for devising the street entertainment to celebrate the entry of James I into London in 1603 and he managed the Lord Mayor's pageant in 1612.
		Thomas Dekker came back into scene in the twentieth century (although almost unnoticeably) when the Beatles included part of his ballad "Golden Slumbers" in their 1969 song of the same title.

		Dekkers Bohemianism appears in the slightness and hurry of his work, a strong contrast to the thoroughness and rich completeness of every labor to which Dickens applied himself; perhaps also in the exquisite freshness and sweetness of his songs, and the natural charm of stray touches of expression and description in his plays.
		Hackwriter though Dekker was, and writing often under sore pressure, there is no dramatist whose personages have more of the breath of life in them; drawing with easy, unconstrained hand, he was a master of those touches by which an imaginary figure is brought home to us as a creature with human interests.
		From Dekkers plays we get a very lively impression of all that was picturesque and theatrically interesting in the city life of the time, the interiors of the shops and the houses, the tastes of the citizens and their wives, the tavern and tobacco-shop manners of the youthful aristocracy and their satellites.

		Dekker has been accused of poverty of invention in adopting the character of the Poetaster, but it is of the very pith of his jest that Dekker should have set on Jonson's own foul-mouthed Captain Tucca to abuse Horace himself.

	Thomas Dekker
		Thomas Dekker did not belong to the "gentle" class, and he appears not to have been a university man. Versatile and talented but often careless, he lived the life of the real bohemian.
		Dekker collaborated with nearly all of the Henslowe group of playwrights, and was one of the principal contestants in the famous War of the Theaters, which occurred towards the end of the sixteenth century.
		The causes of this trouble are somewhat obscure, but it is generally thought that Marston, Dekker, and others, on the public stage and under the slightest of disguises, had made sport of Jonson as being conceited and arrogant.

	Thomas Dekker (1570-1632)
		Thomas Dekker the dramatist--there are records of several contemporaries with this name--was born in London about 1570, but no details of his family relations or of his education are known.
		In Dekker the reaction is indicated not so much by the loss of the romantic or idealizing tendency of the age as by the centering of it on contemporary life, as a result no doubt of the growing wealth and splendor of courts and cities and of man's new adventures in travel, exploration, and war.
		The last story, "Simon Eyre," which furnished Dekker with most of his material for the play, is Deloney's romanticized account of a historical figure, who rose from the position of upholsterer and draper (in Delaney, shoemaker) to become a wealthy lord mayor of London (1445-46).

	Literary Encyclopedia: Dekker, Thomas
		Dekker noted in baptismal and burial records refers to the dramatist, to have been married twice: firstly to Elizabeth, who bore him three daughters, Dorcas, Elizabeth, and Anne, and secondly to Mary, who was buried in 1616.
		Dekker also was jointly summoned in 1625, along with William Rowley, John Ford and John Webster, to the Star Chamber on charges of conspiracy and libel for the lost play Keep the Widow Walking, which dealt with two recent scandals of matricide and seduction in London.
		Dekker was one of a new class of professional writers who, instead of seeking aristocratic patronage for his creative work, was fully caught up in the artistic and commercial demands of the public theatre.

		Thomas Dekker (~1570 - ~1632) was an Elizabethan dramatist and pamphleteer.
		He is thought to have been born in London, but little else is known about his life, apart from the fact that he spent time (including the years 1613-1619) in prison for debt.
		Dekker's pamphlets, which describe the daily life of London in valuable detail, include The Wonderfull Yeare (1603) and The Belman of London (1608).

		The tract ends with the humorous side of the plague, discovered in some witty though rather grim anecdotes, one recounting how the death of a Londoner at a country inn threw the whole village into the most grotesque disorder, until a tinker consented, for a large sum, to bury the corpse.
		Dekker followed this, in the same year, with Newes from Hell, brought by the Divells Carrier.
		It is not surprising that a pamphleteer, with Dekker’s curiosity about life and his gift of realistic description should publish some tracts on roguery, and, in 1608, he produced The Belman of London, using the same material as his predecessors.

		Perhaps Thomas was born to Dutch immigrants, speculates R. Bald, editor of the 1963 Riverside anthology, Six Elizabethan Plays; and perhaps that is why he used a Dutch disguise for Lacy in The Shoemaker’s Holiday (Boston: Houghton Mifflin, 69).
		Deloney, as obscure as Dekker, though of lesser reputation, is thought to have written “Crabbed age and youth cannot live together,” Number XII in The Passionate Pilgrim, a poem which, when ascribed to Shakespeare is considered youthful and immature, but when ascribed to Deloney is considered one of his finest.
		Dekker also performed such prestigious assignments as providing street entertainment for King James’s entry into London and a pageant for the lord mayor of London in 1612, the year before his six-year imprisonment.

		These plays are typical of his work in their use of the moralistic tone of traditional drama, in the rush of their prose, in their boisterousness, and in their mixture of realistic detail with a romanticized plot.

		Dekker had as much of the peculiar sweetness, the gentle fancy, the simple melody of Shakespeare in his woodland dress, as Heywood of the homely and noble realism, the heartiness and humour, the sturdy sympathy and joyful pride of Shakespeare in his most English mood of patriotic and historic loyalty.
		That Dekker was unable to hold his own against Jonson when it came to sheer hard hitting--that on the ground or platform of personal satire he was as a light weight pitted against a heavy weight--is of course too plain, from the very first round, to require any further demonstration.
		In Dekker's next pamphlet, his Dream, there are perhaps half a dozen tolerably smooth and vigorous couplets immersed among many more vacuous and vehement in the intensity of their impotence than any reader and admirer of his more happily inspired verse could be expected to believe without evidence adduced.

		Dekker's hilarious plot is not easy to summarize, but it centers upon a comedic Romeo and Juliet, one in which Romeo - that is, Rowland Lacy, a young aristocrat - disguises himself as a Dutch immigrant, apprentice shoemaker to circumvent his father's objections to his wooing of a middle class Juliet, a Rose Otley.
		Dekker's genial portrayal of the shoemakers' guild in London contributes to the charm of The Shoemakers' Holiday.
		Such mirth that was to be found in 16th century London and much that is sad and fearsome too is to be found in the story of a group of shoemakers living and working in the city.
