John Todhunter

    John Todhunter fu un poeta e drammaturgo irlandese la cui produzione letteraria comprende sette volumi di poesia e diverse opere teatrali. La sua vita iniziale fu segnata da un'educazione quacchera e da studi di medicina, sebbene presto si dedicò alla letteratura, diventando professore di letteratura inglese. Todhunter risiedette a Londra, dove la sua casa divenne parte di una comunità di scrittori e artisti, e partecipò alla fondazione dell'Irish Literary Society. Le sue opere teatrali, come un dramma con un'unica rappresentazione, esplorarono temi che sfidavano la censura.
