BICKERSTAFFE, ISAAC (c. 1735-0. 1812)

This article appears in Volume V03, Page 913 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: BER-BLA
BICKERSTAFFE, ISAAC (c. 1735-0. 1812) ,
English
  dramatist, was born in Ireland about 1735. At the age of eleven he was appointed a page to Lord Chesterfield, then lord
lieutenant
  of Ireland, and subsequently held a commission in the
Marines
 , but was dismissed the service under discreditable circumstances. He was the author of a large number of plays and
burlesque
  farces interspersed with songs, produced between 176o and 1771. The best-known are Maid of the Mill (founded on Richardson's Pamela), The Padlock, He Would if he Could, Love in a
Village
 , The Hypocrite and The
Captive
 . In 1772
Bickerstaffe
 , suspected of a
capital
  offence, fled to the continent. The exact date of his death is unknown, but he is stated to have been still living in abject misery in 1812.
A full account of his dramatic productions is given in Biographia Dramatica, edited by Stephen
Jones
  (1812).
