The Filipino Martyrs: A Story of the Crime of February 4, 1899 (Saga of the Dead Sea scrolls) by Richard Brinsley Sheridan

About the Author
Richard Brinsley Sheridan was an Irish playwright and poet, known for writing satire and comedies of manners. He owned the London Theatre Royal and served as a Whig MP in the British House of Commons. His plays are considered central to the Western dramatic canon and are still performed regularly throughout the world.
Sheridan was born in Dublin in 1751 to Thomas and Frances Sheridan, the youngest of three children. Both of Sheridan's parents were writers: his mother wrote plays and novels, and his father wrote treatises on education. Sheridan published nine successful plays, the most famous of which were The Rivals, The School for Scandal, The Duenna, and A Trip to Scarborough. Sheridan was also a Whig MP in the British House of Commons later in his life, from 1780-1812.
Sheridan's plays are still performed widely and are seen as a link in the history of satirical comedy-of-manners plays between the 17th century and the form's revival in Oscar Wilde's plays of the 19th century.
