Summary "Francis Beaumont: Dramatist" by Charles Mills Gayley is a scholarly account written in the early 20th century. The book explores the life, works, and influence of the esteemed Elizabethan dramatist Francis Beaumont, alongside his close collaborator John Fletcher. The author seeks to illuminate Beaumont's contributions to drama in relation to his contemporaries, particularly Shakespeare, while also detailing his historical context and personal connections. At the start of this comprehensive study, Gayley introduces Beaumont as a significant figure in the Elizabethan and Jacobean drama scene, often overshadowed by Shakespeare. Gayley emphasizes the intertwined careers of Beaumont and Fletcher, dubbing them the "twin literary heroes" of their time, and articulates his goal to distinctly portray Beaumont's unique artistic personality. The opening chapters highlight Beaumont's lineage, early life, and familial ties, establishing the foundation for understanding how his background and social connections shaped his literary endeavors. Additionally, Gayley lays the groundwork for Beaumont's eventual collaboration with Fletcher, underscoring the significance of their joint contributions to the theatrical landscape of their era.
