Rowe, Nicholas (1674–1718), became a barrister of the Middle Temple; but abandoned the legal profession for that of a playwright, and made the acquaintance of
Pope and
Addison. He produced at Lincoln's Inn Fields his tragedies
The Ambitious Stepmother (1700),
Tamerlane (1701), and
The Fair Penitent (1703). His
Ulysses was staged in 1705,
The Royal Convert in 1707,
Jane Shore in 1714, and
Lady Jane Grey in 1715. He became poet laureate in 1715. His poetical works include a famous translation of
Lucan (1718). Rowe also did useful work as editor of Shakespeare's plays, dividing them into acts and scenes, supplying stage directions, and generally making the text more intelligible. As a writer he is best remembered for his ‘She-Tragedies’; their tone is moral, their stress is on the suffering and penitence of victimized women.
