	Thomas Holcroft
		Sympathetic to the early ideals of the French Revolution, Holcroft assisted in the publication of the first part of Thomas Paine's The Rights of Man in 1791, and joined the Society for Constitutional Information (SCI) in 1792, and was appointed a member of a liaison committee to work with the LCS in early 1794.
		As a result of his activism, in the fall of 1794 Holcroft was indicted for high treason and held in Newgate Prison whilst two other treason trials proceeded.
		As one of what Secretary of War William Windham called "acquitted felons," Holcroft's post-arrest reputation meant that his plays achieved little success after 1795, although he was instrumental in bringing melodrama to Britain at the end of the decade with his Deaf and Dumb (1801) and A Tale of Mystery (1802).

		The much later Anna St. Ives (1792) and Hugh Trevor (1794) are similar in general temper to Caleb Williams and, indeed, to Political Justice itself, of which some would have Holcroft to have been the real inspirer.
		Holcroft’s very considerable dramatic faculty, and his varied experience of life, still enable him, especially in Anna St. Ives, to intersperse some scenes of a rather livelier character than the rest; but it is very questionable whether it is worth anyone’s while to seek them out in a desert of dreary declamation and propagandist puppet-mongering.
