	William Wycherley - LoveToKnow 1911
		Like Vanbrugh, Wycherley spent his early years in France, whither, at the age of fifteen, he was sent to be educated in the very heart of the " precious " circle on the banks of the Charente.
		Wycherley, though a man of far more intellectual power than is generally supposed, was a fine gentleman first, a responsible being afterwards.
		Wycherley died on the 1st of January 1716, and was buried in the vault of the church in Covent Garden.

	William Wycherley (1641-1715)
		William Wycherley, the typical Restoration dramatist, and one of the greatest masters of the comedy of repartee, was born about 1640 at Clive, near Shrewsbury, where for several generations his family had been settled on an estate yielding about £600 a year.
		To this Wycherley remained faithful to the day of his death; and if his relations to "that other world beyond," which the Puritans had adopted, were liable to change with his environment, it was because that other world was altogether out of fashion.
		That the writer of such a play should at once become the talk of King Charles' court was inevitable; equally inevitable was it that the author of the song at the end of the first act, in praise of harlots and their offspring, should touch to its depth the soul of the duchess of Cleveland.

	William Wycherley
		English dramatist William Wycherley (1640-1715) was born in 1640, of a good Shropshire family.
		Wycherley died in 1715, at an advanced age, having, on his very death-bed, married a young girl of sixteen, with the sole purpose of injuring his family, and preventing them from receiving his inheritance.
		Pinchwife, is in the English comedy a union of the most incredible immorality with complete ignorance of the world; while the leading incident of the piece, the stratagem by which Horner blinds the jealousy of the husband, is of a nature which it is absolutely impossible to qualify decent language.

		Like John Vanbrugh, Wycherley spent his early years in France, to where, at the age of fifteen, he was sent to be educated in the very heart of the precious circle on the banks of the Charente.
		And if, as Macaulay hints, Wycherley's turning back to Romanism once more had something to do with the patronage and unwonted liberality of James II, this merely proves that the deity he worshipped was the deity of the "polite world" of his time -- gentility.
		But, for all that, Wycherley's sobriquet of "Manly Wycherley" seems to have been fairly earned by him, earned by that frank and straightforward way of confronting life which, according to Alexander Pope and Jonathan Swift, characterized also his brilliant successor Vanbrugh.

	William Wycherley (1640-1716)
		Wycherley was forced to return to his father's house in Clive in 1689 to take refuge from a potentially dangerous political scene; William III was not one to favour literary men, certainly not libertines such as he.
		Wycherley must have been desperate to escape, for he hated country life and country people and the watchful presence of his disapproving father would have sorely tried him.
		William was to receive only a small amount of the family estate but his father agreed to pay off £1,000 of his debts; the errant son readily agreed to this arrangement and returned to London.

	William Wycherley
		William Wycherley, dramatist, poet, was born at Clive, near Shrewsbury, Shropshire, the son of Daniel Wycherley--then teller to the exchequer, later chief steward of the Marquis of Winchester (and in that post suspected of peculation)--and of Bethia Shrimpton.
		(Wycherley's various conversions and reconversions seem to have been more a matter of adapting himself to his environment than to have been caused by any deep religious convictions.) He left the university without a degree, and indeed seems never to have formally matriculated.
		Wycherley never got his tutorship; he was banished in disgrace, and neither Charles not the Duchess of Cleveland ever forgave him.
