Sheridan From LoveToKnow 1911 SHERIDAN, the name of an Anglo-Irish family, made illustrious by the dramatist Richard Brinsley (No. 4 below), but prominently connected with literature in more than one generation before and after his. Thomas Sheridan (1687-1738), grandfather of the dramatist, was born at Cavan in 1687, and was educated at Trinity College, Dublin , taking his B.A. degree in 1711 and that of M.A. in 1714; he became B.D. in 1724 and D.D. in 1726. By a marriage with Elizabeth , heiress of Charles MacFadden, he restored to the Sheridan family Quilcagh House, which they had forfeited by their Jacobite sympathies. Thomas Sheridan is chiefly known as the favourite companion and confidant of Swift during his later residence in Ireland . His correspondence with Swift and his whimsical treatise on the " Art of Punning "I make perfectly clear from whom his grandson derived his high spirits and delight in practical joking. The " Art of Punning " might have been written by the author of The Critic. Swift had a high opinion of his scholarship, and that it was not contemptible is.attested by a translation of the Satires of Persius , printed in Dublin in 1728. He also translated the

Sheridan's parents moved to London and in 1762 he was sent to Harrow School . After six years at Harrow he went to live with his father in Bath who had found employment there as an elocution teacher. In March 1772 Sheridan eloped to France with a young woman called Elizabeth Linley. A marriage ceremony was carried out at Calais but soon afterwards the couple were caught by the girl's father. As a result of this behaviour, Sheridan was challenged to a duel. The fight took place on 2nd July 1772, during which Sheridan was seriously wounded. However, Sheridan recovered and after qualifying as a lawyer, Mr. Linley gave permission for the couple to marry. Sheridan began writing plays and on 17th January, 1775, the Covent Garden Theatre produced his comedy, The Rivals . After a poor reception it was withdrawn. A revised version appeared soon after and it eventually become one of Britain's most popular comedies. Two other plays by Sheridan

RICHARD BRINSLEY SHERIDAN (1751-1816) This document was originally published in Encyclopedia Britannica, 11th Edition, Volume XXIV . John George Robertson. Cambridge: University Press, 1911. pp. 845-7. Purchase Plays by Richard Brinsley Sheridan After leaving Harrow he kept up a correspondence with a school friend who had gone to Oxford. With this youth, N.B. Halhed, he concocted various literary plans, and between them they actually executed and published (1771) metrical translations of Aristaenetus. In conjunction with Halhed he wrote a farce entitled Jupiter , which was refused by both Garrick and Foote and remained in MS., but is of interest as containing the same device of a rehearsal which was afterwards worked out with such brilliant effect in The Critic . Some of the dialogue is very much in Sheridan's mature manner. Extracts given from papers written in the seven years between his leaving Harrow and the appearance of The Rivals sketches of unfinished plays, poems, political letters and pamphletsshow that he was far from idle. The removal of the family to Bath in 1770-1771 led to an acquaintance with the daughters of the composer Thomas Linley. The eldest daughter, Elizabeth Ann (b. 1754), a girl of sixteen, the prima donna of her father's concerts, was exceedingly beautiful, and had many suitors, among them Sheridan, N.B. Halhed and a certain Major Mathews. To protect her from this man's persecutions, Sheridan, who seems to have acted at first only as a confidential friend, carried out the romantic plan of escorting Miss Linley, in March 1772, to a nunnery in France. Sheridan returned and fought two duels with Mathews, which made a considerable sensation at the time. The pair had gone through a ceremony of marriage in the course of their flight, but Sheridan kept the marriage secret, and was sternly denied access to Miss Linley by her father, who did not consider him an eligible suitor. Sheridan was sent to Waltham Abbey, in Essex, to continue his studies, especially in mathematics. He was entered at the Middle Temple on the 6th of April 1773, and a week later he was openly married to Miss Linley.
