William Gorman Wills

William Gorman Wills (January 28, 1828 – December 13, 1891), was a Dublin-born dramatist and painter.

Biography

The son of James Wills (1790 - 1868), author of Lives of Ilh'strious and a distinguished Irishmen, William was educated at Waterford Grammar School and Trinity College, Dublin. [http://encyclopedia.jrank.org/WIL_YAK/WILLS_WILLIAM_GORMAN_1828_1891_.html Retrieved March 7, 2007]

After publishing his novel "Old Times" in an Irish magazine, he traveled to London, and for some time wrote for periodicals without much success. He found his true vein in drama, and produced over 30 plays, many of which, including "Medea in Corinth", "Eugene Aram", "Jane Shore", "Buckingham", and "Olivia", had great success. Wills also wrote a poem, "Melchior", in blank verse, as well as many songs. James Joyce alludes to him and to his play "A Royal Divorce" (concerning Napoleon's divorce from Joséphine) many times in Finnegans Wake.
