	Thomas Shadwell - LoveToKnow 1911 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		Alsatia was the cant name for Whitefriars, then a kind of sanctuary for persons liable to arrest, and the play represents, in dialogue full of the argot of the place, the adventures of a young heir who falls into the hand of the sharpers there.
		But when Dryden joined the court party, and produced Absalom and Achitophel and The Medal, Shadwell became the champion of the true-blue Protestants, and made a scurrilous attack on the poet in The Medal of John Bayes: a Satire against Folly and Knavery (1682).
		In 1687 Shadwell attempted to answer these attacks in a version of the tenth satire of Juvenal.

	Literary Encyclopedia: Thomas Shadwell
		Thomas Shadwell was one of the most successful playwrights and poets to come of age after the Restoration of Charles II.
		Shadwell was encouraged to write for the theatre by his early patron, William Cavendish, Duke of Newcastle, himself a playwright and, many years earlier, a patron of Ben Jonson.
		Shadwell initiated another controversy in his dedication (to Newcastle) by attacking the approach to comedy advocated by Dryden and others since the Restoration, an approach that argued for wit over humour and for pleasure as the necessary path to fulfilling the moral obligation of the playwright to provide the audience with instruction.

	( m a c f l e c k n o e )
		Shadwell, the supposed hero, is the most un-heroic character in the poem, a feature which Dryden does purposely to add to the mock-heroic aspect of the poem.
		Shadwell considered himself to be the successor of Ben Jonson, an idea that contributed to Dryden's idea for his "son of Flecknoe" poem.
		He points out all of Shadwell's faults, namely the dullness, prolixity, and clumsiness of his works, yet does so in order to warn readers that this type of writer is in the public arena.

	Sample Essay
		When Shadwell is described as “a tun of a man” (195), the speaker may be simply referring to Shadwell’s physical size, but it cannot be overlooked that the size of this man, whether physically or in the scope of his influence, is disproportionate to what the speaker calls his “kilderkin of wit” (196).
		Shadwell may well be wildly popular with the general public, but our speaker, it seems, wishes to persuade the reader away from such empty praise.
		Indeed, Shadwell’s fans are the “little fishes [that] throng” (49) about the boat as “the morning toastfloats along” (50); fans who gleefully respond to news that their new leader is Shadwell, the “morning toast,” himself.
