Harper's Encyclopedia of United States History (ed. Benson Lossing), Davenant , Sir William , 1605 -1668 (search)
Davenant, Sir William, 1605-1668
Dramatist and poet; born in Oxford, England, in 1605; son of an innkeeper, at whose house Shakespeare often stopped while on his journeys between Stratford and London, and who noticed the boy. Young Davenant left college without a degree.
Shoving much literary talent, he was encouraged in writing plays by persons of distinction, and on the death of Ben Jonson in 1637 he was made poet-laureate.
He adhered to the royal cause during the civil war in England, with French men, women, and children, he sailed for Virginia.
The ship was captured by a parliamentary cruiser, and the passengers were landed in England, where the life of Sir William was spared, it is believed, by the intervention of John Milton, the poet, who was Cromwell's Latin secretary.
Sir William had a strong personal resemblance to Shakespeare, and it was currently believed that he was a natural son of the great dramatist.
This idea Sir William encouraged.
He died in April, 1668.
