Beaumont, Francis

Born circa 1584, in Grace Dieu; died Mar. 6, 1616, in London. British playwright.

The son of a gentry judge, Beaumont studied in law school. The majority of his plays were written in collaboration with J. Fletcher. Their creative work bears the imprint of the spiritual crisis experienced by humanists when they became convinced that their ideals could not be realized. In their comedy The Knight of the Burning Pestle (c. 1607, Russian translation 1959), certain characters and situations of the English theater of that time are ridiculed. Beaumont is the author of the comedy The Woman Hater (1607), and the play The Masque of the Gentlemen of Gray’s Inn and the Inner Temple (1613), dedicated to F. Bacon. The dramas of 1619–21, A King and No King, The Maid’s Tragedy, and Thierry and Theodoret, were written in the spirit of the “bloody tragedy” prevalent at that time. The play Philaster (1620) was written in the tragicomic genre.
