Kelly, Hugh

▪ British dramatist
born 1739, Dublin?, Ire.
died Feb. 3, 1777, London, Eng.

      British dramatist, critic, and journalist who was, for a time, a serious rival of the playwright Oliver Goldsmith in the London theatre, after his play False Delicacy (staged in 1768) scored a triumph in opposition to Goldsmith's Good-Natur'd Man.

      Kelly immigrated to London in 1760 and began contributing essays to several magazines there. He edited The Court Magazine from 1761 to 1765 and published a short epistolary novel called Memoirs of a Magdalen . . . (1767). His Thespis, 2 vol. (1766–67), confirmed his reputation as a controversial critic.

      The resounding success of Kelly's first play, False Delicacy, staged with the patronage of David Garrick, cost him Goldsmith's friendship and earned the enduring resentment of Samuel Johnson, who had written the prologue for Goldsmith's play. Another comedy by Kelly, The School for Wives (1773), and an afterpiece, The Romance of an Hour (1774), proved successful. But a final comedy, The Man of Reason (1776), was a failure, and Kelly, having been called to the bar in 1774, retired from the theatre to practice law. Kelly's formula for success as a playwright was to blend comic and satiric scenes with earnestly sentimental material.
