Search - List of Books by Henry Glapthorne

Henry Glapthorne (baptised July 28, 1610 – died in or after 1643) was a Caroline era dramatist.

Glapthorne was baptized in Cambridgeshire, the son of Thomas Glapthorne and Faith nee Hatcliff. His father was a bailiff of Lady Hatton, the wife of Sir Edward Coke. Before he turned fourteen, Henry Glapthorne was matriculated as a pensioner at Corpus Christi College, Cambridge, but there is no record that he ever took a degree. From then until he emerges as a playwright in the mid-1630s little is known of him. There is some evidence he may have been employed as a groom-porter in a nobleman's household during some of that time — a later document refers to him as "Glapthorne the Porter" — but there is nothing conclusive.
