May, Thomas

▪ English scholar
born , 1595
died Nov. 13, 1650, London

      English man of letters known for his historical defense of the English Parliament in its struggle against King Charles I.

      After graduating from Cambridge, May began the study of law at Gray's Inn (1615). He later abandoned law for literature. The Heir (1620), a comedy and his first dramatic work, was followed by another comedy and three tragedies and by translations of Virgil and Martial and (in 1627) of Lucan's historical poem Pharsalia. This last impressed Charles I, who requested May to compose verse histories of the reigns of Henry II and Edward III. Disappointment at the rewards from Charles may have contributed to May's sympathy with the Parliamentarians. As joint secretary “for the Parliaments” from 1646, he was in effect their propagandist. His History of the Parliament of England, Which Began Nov. the Third, 1640 (1647) and his Breviary of the History of the Parliament of England (1650), although impartial in tone, were, in fact, skillful defenses of the Parliamentarian position.
