GLAPTHORNE, HENRY (fl. 1635-1642) , English poet and dramatist, wrote in the reign of Charles I. All that is known of him is gathered from his own work
York
pastoral
monster
pride
other plays are The Hollander (written 1635; printed 1640), a romantic comedy of which the scene is laid in Genoa; Wit in a Constable (164o), which is probably a version of an earlier play, and owes something to Shakespeare's Much Ado about Nothing; and The Ladies Priviledge (164o). The Lady Mother (1635) has been identified (Fleay, Biog. Chron. of the Drama) with The Noble Trial, one of the plays destroyed by Warburton's cook, and Mr A. H. Bullen prints it in vol. ii. of his Old English Plays as most probably Glapthorne's work
Hall
The Plays and Poems of Henry Glapthorne (1874) contains an unsigned memoir, which, however, gives no information about the dramatist's life. There is no reason for supposing that the George Glapthorne of whose trial details are given was a relative of the poet.
