James Sheridan Knowles was born at Cork in 1784, and died at
Torquay in December, 1862, at the age of 78. His father was a
teacher of elocution, who compiled a dictionary, and who was
related to the Sheridans. He moved to London when his son was eight
years old, and there became acquainted with William Hazlitt and
Charles Lamb. The son, after his school education, obtained a
commission in the army, but gave up everything for the stage, and
made his first appearance at the Crow Street Theatre, in Dublin. He
did not become a great actor, and when he took to writing plays he
did not prove himself a great poet, but his skill in contriving
situations through which a good actor can make his powers tell upon
the public, won the heart of the great actor of his day, and as
Macready's own poet he rose to fame. Before Macready had discovered
him, Sheridan Knowles lived partly by teaching elocution at Belfast
and Glasgow, partly by practice of elocution as an actor. In 1815
he produced at the Belfast Theatre his first play, Caius Gracchus.
