ecial class composed of careless courtiers and the dregs of the town populace. such a class required only lesser dramatists to supply its wants; and, as we approach the date of the closing of the theatres (1642), the greater lights go out one by one till only a crowd of little men are left, writing a drama which has neither form nor spirit remaining in it. the accident of the survival of henslowe’s diary helped us to group together in some kind of natural order the more active of the lesser elizabethan dramatists. we have no document of this sort to aid us in the case of the jacobean and caroline writers; but we are confronted by a remarkable personality whose relations with the dramatists and poets of his age were as honourable and unselfish as henslowe’s were mercenary and mean. a young dramatist, writing to henslowe for a loan, …
