Description: An analysis of the interludes of the sixteenth century writer.
, at the period when they were merging into comedy, was John Heywood, choir boy at the Chapel Royal in London, and at one time connected with the production of plays at the court of Henry VII. He was a loyal Catholic; and after the death of Mary, being out of sympathy with the strong Protestant movement of the day, he journeyed to the continent and died there. Although entirely faithful to his Church, Heywood did not hesitate to criticize its weaknesses. In his plays he broke away from the conventional tone and allegorical manner of the morality, and treated his themes in an ironical, good-humored style. His titles alone are diverting.
