		A dramatist is an author of dramatic compositions for the theater.
		The compositions meant are typically plays, although the term may also describe authors and composers in related fields such as opera and musical theater.
		The reference to drama means that dramatist is sometimes reserved for those who have written "serious" plays, as opposed to comedies or farces.

		Since the dramatist must, at the same time and in the same work, harness and harmonise the methods of so many of the arts, it would be uncritical to centre studious consideration solely on his dialogue and to praise him or condemn him on the literary ground alone.
		The dependence of the dramatist upon his audience may be illustrated by the history of many important plays, which, though effective in their own age, have become ineffective for later generations, solely because they were founded on certain general principles of conduct in which the world has subsequently ceased to believe.
		Dramatists have become convinced that the soliloquy and the aside are lazy expedients, and that with a little extra labor the most complicated plot may be developed without resort to either.

	The Project Gutenberg eBook of The Theory of the Theatre, by Clayton Hamilton
		The dramatist, therefore, must be endowed not only with the literary sense, but also with a clear eye for the graphic and plastic elements of pictorial effect, a sense of rhythm and of music, and a thorough knowledge of the art of acting.
		It was so large that the dramatists were obliged to deal only with subjects that were traditional,—stories which had long been familiar to the entire theatre-going public, including the poorer and less educated spectators who sat farthest from the actors.
		Successful dramatists play upon the susceptibility of a crowd by serving up raw morsels of crude humor and pathos for the unthinking to wheeze and blubber over, knowing that these members of the audience will excite their more phlegmatic neighbors by contagion.

	Gamasutra - Features - "Agitating for Dramatic Change" Printer Friendly
		Invisible in all of this is the "dramatist" in the background - behind the curtain, who uses a new kind of tool to "direct" the theatrical potential of the unfolding experience by inputting narrative elements, inherent conflict, characters (with wants, needs, goals, schedules and action abilities that will collide in conflict) and dramatically "soaked" environments.
		Though main characters would first act on the dramatist's main goals, synthespians would be able to form subservient goals as a result of their own wants and needs, and would have their own unique abilities to go about satisfying their wants and needs based on a course of action.
		The dramatist may wish to input data such as dynamic weather, geophysical, and atmospheric conditions, which can be triggered by proximity or by dramatic act (3-act dramatic structure).

		The dramatist who sends a pretty woman off in street attire and seeks to bring her on again in thirty seconds fully dressed for a court ball may fail in stage technique, but he has not proved that stage technique is tremendously difficult; he has proved something quite else.
		The dramatist may have to imagine a landscape, a room, or a gesture; but he has not got to write it--and it is the writing which hastens death.
		Every dramatist who is candid with himself--I do not suggest that he should be candid to the theatrical world--well knows that though his play is often worsened by his collaborators it is also often improved,--and improved in the most mysterious and dazzling manner--without a word being altered.

	The American Dramatist: 1690-1890
		The early theatre managers looked to London exclusively for their plays and had found it convenient to ignore the question of authors' royalties, which in the absence of international copyright [5] they could do with impunity.
		Dunlap does not say if he himself took the hint and also paid that sum for the many dramas he adapted from Kotzebue, but if he did it was not because he had to, but merely as a matter of courtesy and good business ethics.
		A native dramatist who had considerable success at this time was Cornelius A. Logan (1806-1853), who wrote for J.H. Hackett a three-act play called "The Wag of Maine." It was performed at the Park Theatre in 1835.

	The Life of Anglo-Irish Dramatist Dion Boucicault (1820?-1890)
		Over his career, the wittiest dramatist between Sheridan and Wilde produced some 200 plays, including the highly popular Smike; or, Nicholas Nickleby, which premiered from 1 to 24 November 1859 at New York City's Winter Garden Theatre.
		That phase of the Anglo-Irish dramatist's career had begun in 1850, when he engaged with Charles Kean, the new lessee of the Princess's Theatre, to provide popular melodramas to complement Kean's Shakespearean revivals.
		He may be, according to Hartnoll, the first British dramatist "to receive a royalty for his plays instead of a lump sum" (65) from an English theatre management.

		For half of a century he had devoted his life and his energies to the art of drama, and he had won international acclaim as the greatest and most influential dramatist of his time.
		This does not mean that his main concern as a dramatist was the didactical use of theatre, or the waging of an abstract ideological debate.
		Habbel's pioneering work was his conveyance of the ideologicalconflicts of his day into the theatre where he created "a drama of issues" pointing forward.

	Eugene O'Neill, Dramatist
		New York has more theatres than any other city in the world; and yet America has never produced a dramatist who is equal to any one of four British dramatists living and active today.
		When we remember that New York has been since 1914 the musical capital of the world, we are safe in ascribing to this city the intellectual and artistic leadership of America.
		He was born in New York City, Oct. 16, 1888, was a student for one year at Princeton, and one year at Harvard, has had varied experiences as a business man on land and sea, has been an actor in vaudeville and a newspaper reporter.

	D.H. Lawrence: dramatist
		Both theatre goers and critics were shaken to find themselves confronted by what was so clearly the work of a major English twentieth century dramatist, and to see so forcibly demonstrated that naturalism is dead only in those naturalistic plays which never were alive.
		It is upon them that Lawrence's status as a dramatist depends and upon them that I wish to concentrate in the account which follows, with brief references to the other plays to fill in the picture.
		There was also a distaste for the whole business of negotiating with impresarios, of putting his works, which were always like children to him, into the hands of producers and actors, whom he felt were not his kind of people, and of exposing himself to theatre audiences he knew would be unsympathetic.

	Shakespeare as Literary Dramatist - Cambridge University Press (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		The usual distinction that has been set up between Ben Jonson on the one hand, carefully preparing his manuscripts for publication, and Shakespeare the man of the theatre, writing for his actors and audience, indifferent to his plays as literature, is questioned in this book.
		Theatricality, literariness and the texts of Romeo and Juliet, Henry V, and Hamlet; Appendix A. The plays of Shakespeare and his contemporaries in print, 1583—1623; Appendix B. Heminge and Condell’s ‘stolne, and surreptitious copies’ and the pavier quartos; Appendix C. Shakespeare and the circulation of dramatic manuscripts.
		Thus, Erne’s Shakespeare is precisely a man of the theatre who became a literary dramatist, at once concerned with the next performance and his own literary reputation.

	Articles - Richard Cumberland (dramatist) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		He was born in the master's lodge of Trinity College, Cambridge, and was the great-grandson of the bishop of Peterborough; his father, Dr Denison Cumberland, became successively Bishop of Clonfert and of Kilmore.
		If Cumberland's dialogue lacks brilliance and his characters reality, the construction of the plots is as a rule, skilful, and the situations are contrived with what Cumberland indisputably possessed--a thorough insight into the secrets of theatrical effect.
		His debut as a dramatic author was made with a tragedy, The Banishment of Cicero, published in 1761 after its rejection by David Garrick; this was followed in 1765 by a musical drama, The Summer's Tale, subsequently compressed into an afterpiece Amelia (1768).
