Heywood, John

born 1497?, London, Eng.?
died after 1575, Mechelen, Belg.

British playwright.

His witty, satirical verse interludes (dialogues on a set subject) helped put English drama on the road to the fully developed comedy of the Elizabethans. His interludes, which replace biblical allegory with representations of everyday life and manners, include The Play of the Wether, A Play of Love, and Wytty and Wytless (all printed 1533), and The Playe Called the Foure P.P.: A Palmer, a Pardoner, a Potycary, a Pedler (printed с 1544). He also wrote epigrams, ballads, and a verse allegory, The Spider and the Flie (1556).

▪ English author
born 1497?, London?
died after 1575, , Mechelen, Belg.

      playwright whose short dramatic interludes (interlude) helped put English drama on the road to the fully developed stage comedy of the Elizabethans. He replaced biblical allegory and the instruction of the morality play with a comedy of contemporary personal types that illustrate everyday life and manners.

      From 1519 Heywood was active at the court of Henry VIII as a singer and “player of the virginals,” and later as master of an acting group of boy singers. He received periodic grants that indicate that he was in favour at court under Edward VI and Mary.

      Heywood's works for the stage were interludes—entertainments popular in 15th- and 16th-century England, consisting of dialogues on a set subject. The four interludes to which Heywood's name is attached are witty, satirical debates in verse, ending on a didactic note like others of their genre and reflecting some influence of French farce and of Geoffrey Chaucer.

      Interludes were performed separately, or preceding or following a play, or between the acts. The Playe Called the Foure P.P. . . . A Palmer. A Pardoner. A Potycary. A Pedler (not dated but printed c. 1544) is a contest in lying. The Play of the Wether, printed in 1533, describes the chaotic results of Jupiter's attempts to suit the weather to different people's desires. A Play of Love and Wytty and Wytless, both printed in 1533, complete the list of interludes definitely ascribed to Heywood, although two others printed in the same year without an author's name are generally considered to be by him. These are A Mery Play Between the Pardoner, the Frere, the Curate and Neybour Pratte and A Mery Play Betwene Johan Johan the Husbande, Tyb his Wyfe, and Syr Jhān the Preest. Heywood's other works included A Dialogue Conteining . . . All the Proverbes in the English Tongue (1549) and collections of epigrams, published together as John Heywoodes Woorkes in 1562; ballads, among them “The Willow Garland” sung by Desdemona in Othello; and a long verse allegory, The Spider and the Flie (1556).

      Despite several episodes of oppression, Heywood remained a Roman Catholic. When Elizabeth I became queen in 1564, Heywood left his property in the hands of his son-in-law, John Donne (father of the poet), and fled to Belgium, where he died at an advanced age.
