Tate, Nahum (1652–1715), a poor poet and worse playwright, who collaborated with
Dryden in the second part of
Absalom and Achitophel (1682) and with Brady in a metrical version of the Psalms, published in 1696, which long remained popular in the Church of England. In 1692 he succeeded Thomas
Shadwell as Poet Laureate, and he was pilloried by Pope in
The Dunciad (1728). Otherwise he is mainly remembered for his extremely odd versions of some of the plays of Shakespeare. His
History of King Richard II (1680) was intended to blacken the character of Bolingbroke and render Richard II wholly sympathetic. In
King Lear (1681) the character of the Fool is omitted, and Cordelia survives to marry Edgar. This remained the standard acting text until
Macready's production of the original version in 1838.
Coriolanus, as The Ingratitude of a Common-Wealth; or, The Fall of Caius Martius Coriolanus (also 1681), was not so badly mangled except in the last act, which incorporates the worst features of
Titus Andronicus, probably in an unsuccessful bid for popularity.
