BROME, RICHARD (d. 1652)

This article appears in Volume V04, Page 632 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: BRI-BUN
BROME, RICHARD (d. 1652) , English dramatist, was originally a servant of Ben Jonson, and owed much to his master. The development of his plots, the strongly marked characters and the amount of curious information to be found in his
work
 , all show Jonson's influence. The relation of master and servant developed into friendship, and our knowledge of Brome's personal character is chiefly
drawn
  from Ben Jonson's lines to him, prefixed to The Northern Lasse (1632), the. play which made Brome's reputation. Brome's genius lay entirely in comedy. He has left fifteen pieces. Five New Playes (ed. by Alex. Brome, 1652?) contained Madd Couple Well Matcht (acted 1639?);
Novella (acted 1632); Court Begger (acted 1632); City Witt; The Damoiselle or the New
Ordinary
 . Five New Playes (1659) included The English Moor, or The Mock
Marriage
 ; The Love-Sick Court, or The Ambitious Politique; Covent Garden Weeded; The New
Academy
 , or The New Exchange; and The Queen and Concubine. The
Antipodes
  (acted 1638, pr. 164o) ; The Sparagus Garden (acted 1635, pr. 1640); A Joviall
Crew
 , or the Merry Beggars (acted 1641, pr. 1652, revised in 1731 as an " opera "), and The Queenes Exchange (pr. 1657), were published separately. He collaborated with
Thomas
  Heywood in The
late
  Lancashire Witches (pr. 1634).
See A. W. Ward, History of English Dramatic Literature, vol. iii. pp. 125131 (1899). The Dramatic Works of Richard Brome . . . were published in 1873.
