About the author

Richard Brinsley Sheridan

1751–1816

Best known for sparkling comedies like The Rivals and The School for Scandal, this Anglo-Irish writer brought wit, gossip, and sharp social satire to the 18th-century stage. He also led a striking second life in politics, serving for decades in the British Parliament.
