Author Bio: Richard Brinsley Sheridan
Richard Brinsley Sheridan (1751-1816) was a beloved Irish-born playwright of the eighteenth century. He left a career in law to pursue theater, and in less than a year had made a name for himself among contemporary dramatists. Though best-remembered as the author of brilliant comedies of manners, Sheridan was also a significant politician and orator, serving as secretary of foreign affairs, secretary to the treasury, treasurer of the navy, and a member of Parliament for thirty-two years.
