This two-volume biography, first published in 1825, presents a sympathetic portrait of the tumultuous personal, political and literary life of playwright and politician Richard Brinsley Sheridan (1751–1816). Written by the Irish poet Thomas Moore (1779–1852), the work proved successful and influential. Volume 2 expands on Sheridan's political life.
Best known for The Rivals and The School for Scandal, Richard Brinsley Sheridan (1751–1816) was already a celebrated comic playwright when he entered Parliament in 1780. Turning his wit and talent as a writer to political oratory, he won acclaim for his speeches in the House of Commons. As an independent-minded Whig, he had to reconcile his distrust of monarchical power with his role as friend and confidant to the future George IV. Sheridan's was ultimately a turbulent life, rocked by affairs, heavy drinking and constant debt. This successful and influential two-volume biography, first published in 1825, was written by the poet Thomas Moore (1779–1852), who went on to chart the life of Lord Byron. Volume 2 covers Sheridan's political career, his speeches in Parliament and his final years, closing with reflections on his life.
