About 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.
