Hence, All You Vain Delights from the Nice Valour
by John Fletcher
English playwright. He wrote many plays for the Jacobean stage, both on his own and in collaboration with other dramatists. The Faithful Shepherdess (1610), The Loyal Subject (1618), The Humorous Lieutenant (1619), and A Wife for a Month (1624) are among the best plays he wrote unaided. His most fruitful collaboration was with Francis Beaumont; the most successful pieces they produced together were Philaster (1609), A Maid's Tragedy (1610-11) and A King and No King (1611). Around 1613 Fletcher wrote two plays in partnership with William Shakespeare, The Two Noble Kinsmen and Henry VIII. Other playwrights he worked with include Massinger, Rowley, Chapman, Middleton and Jonson.
