Nautical Drama, type of romantic
melodrama popular in England in the late 18th and early 19th centuries, which had as its hero a ‘Jolly Jack Tar’, a lineal descendant of the sailor characters in the novels of Smollett, who was himself the author of one of the earliest plays of this kind,
The Reprisal;
or,
The Tars of Old England (1757). The Jack Tar was further popularized by the elder Charles
Dibdin and by the naval victories of Nelson, before being given its final form in the noble-hearted William, hero of
Jerrold's Black-Ey'd Susan;
or,
All in the Downs (1829), in which T. P.
Cooke made his name. The character continued to flourish in the minor ‘transpontine’ theatres in London, particularly at the
Surrey, until well into the 1880s, in spite of being burlesqued in
Dickens's Nicholas Nickleby (1838) and
Gilbert and Sullivan's
HMS Pinafore (1878).
