  Thomas Heywood - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Heywood is mentioned by Philip Henslowe as having written a book or play for the Lord Admiral's company of actors in October 1596; and by 1598 he was regularly engaged as a player in the company, in which he presumably had a share, as no wages are mentioned.
Heywood wrote for the stage, and protested against the printing of his works, which he said he had no time to revise.
Loves Maistresse; Or, The Queens Masque (printed 1636) is on the story of Cupid and Psyche as told by Apuleius; and the tragedy of the Rape of Lucrece (1608) is varied by a "merry lord," Valerius, who lightens the gloom of the situation by singing comic songs.

 Thomas Kyd - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Thomas Kyd (1558 - 1594) was an English dramatist, the author of The Spanish Tragedy, and one of the most important figures in the development of Elizabethan drama.
Kyd languished in obscurity until 1773 when Thomas Hawkins, an early editor of the play, discovered that he was named as its author by Thomas Heywood in his Apologie for Actors.
Thomas Kyd was the son of Francis and Anna Kyd and was baptized in the church of St Mary Woolnoth, Lombard Street, London on November 6, 1558.

 Chapter 1 - Nessy Heywood, A.W. Moore, 1913
CHAPTER I. HESTER, or, as she was invariably called, Nessy Heywood, the second daughter of Deemster Peter John Heywood and Elizabeth Spedding, was born at the Nunnery, near Douglas, Isle of Man, in 1768.
Thomas Heywood was Speaker of the House of Keys, Captain of the Fort at Douglas, and a friend of Bishop Wilson’s.
As Thomas Stowell and his wife, with their sixteen children, then lived in Douglas, it is probable that Nessy also knew Hugh Stowell, afterwards the saintly clergyman of that name, though he was educated in Ramsey; and Thomas Stowell, the future Clerk of the Rolls.

English dramatist and miscellaneous author, was a native of Lincolnshire, born about 1575, and said to have been educated at Cambridge and to have become a fellow of Peterhouse.
He was, said Tieck, the "model of a light and rapid talent", and his plays, as might be expected from his rate of production, bear little trace of artistic elaboration.

Heywood himself was strongly interested in the querelle des femmes as his 1624 History of Women and the later Exemplary Lives demonstrate.
Somehow I doubt that Heywood would have included his fictive Anne Frankford among those he honors, and I for one would take issue with Brian Scobie's view that Heywood's presentation of her demonstrates that "His championing of women is consistent with the broadly sympathetic handling of the guilty heroine".
Heywood's initial means for doing so lie in the dance metaphor and in Sir Charles's and Sir Francis's comments on Anne.

Heywood in effect names him, for only Shakespeare's name is on The Passionate Pilgrim; he calls him an author, and reveals personal information about him.
He is concerned with a flesh-and-blood writer, not a front--or a man using a front, or someone posthumously acting for that man, who would not likely be concerned that the front's name was put on the title-page of poems by someone other than the man whose front he was.
And Heywood refers to Shakespeare's using his NAME, not someone else's name, or a pseudonym--that is, he speaks of Shakespeare's publishing under "his own name," not under "the name he uses," or some such.

Heywood's "The Fair Maid of the West" is a riot of fun.
His production of Shakespeare's journeyman playwright contemporary, Thomas Heywood's "The Fair Maid of the West" establishes the theatre as the most exciting new space in years.
The first script (Heywood today would, most likely, write good-natured soap opera) is the pleasing tale of Bess Bridges, Plymouth barmaid of integrity, and of her adventures: Joan Littlewood might have devised the scenario, and the rumbustious performances Mr Nunn manages to elicit from his energetic cast.

 Shakespeare Fellowship Discussion Boards: Thomas Heywood's Satire of Venus and Adonis
In 1594 one "T.H.," identified by Folger editor Joseph Quincy Adams as the young Thomas Heywood, published "the earliest known imitation of Shakespeare," in the narrative satiric poem, Oenone and Paris.
As Ogburn has pointed out, the reference to the author as one lurking the darkness while his work is published, parodies the pseudonymous character of Venus and Adonis -- while simultaneously refering to the circumstance of "T.H." who is lurking, in this first of all his publications, behind his own initials.
While not exactly a "smoking gun," this passage from the first of Thomas Heywood's many publications is surely circumstantial evidence in support of the view that Heywood, like others, recognized the actual circumstances of the first appearance of the name "William Shakespeare" in print.

But Thomas Nashe describes him as a "shifting companion that ran through every art and throve by none." He showed a fairly wide range of reading in Latin.

Throughout his career he had also held a number of musical appointments in various city and suburban churches, and he became one of Australia's most sought-after concert performers.
