| 释义 |
William Gager (1555–1622) was an English jurist, now known for his Latin dramas. He was educated at Westminster School and Christ Church, Oxford.[1] His works were produced at the University of Oxford, from 1582 to 1592.[2] He was considered one of the major dramatists of the late sixteenth century. Apart from one comedy, Rivales, which has not survived, his works were all Latin tragedies.[3] They include Meleager (1582), Dido (1583) and Ulysses Redux (1592).[2] He stayed closer to the model of Senecan tragedy than other contemporaries, and adapted Seneca's Hippolytus in 1592, with the addition of scenes.[4] He was also a neo-Latin poet.[5] Notes1. ^Concise Dictionary of National Biography 2. ^1 Arthur F.
