Beaumont and Fletcher

Beaumont and Fletcher

Beaumont and Fletcher were the English dramatists Francis Beaumont (1584 – March 6 1616) and John Fletcher (baptized 29 December 1579 - died in August 1625), who collaborated in their writing during the reign of James I. There collaboration was so well regarded that works individually authored by either are sometimes errantly reported as having been by the collaboration. These include later collaborations by Fletcher with Nathan Field and Philip Massinger.
