Short biography

After having had moderate success as an actress, Elizabeth Inchbald took up writing to support herself and her dependent relatives. She moved in the circles of political radicals such as William Godwin. Ironically, her most famous play is probably "Lovers' Vows" because it is the one rehearsed but NOT performed in Jane Austen's novel Mansfield Park.
