About me I am a Restoration-era playwright, born 1670 and died 1729.
About my library I created a list of my library, updated to the end of my life. My library was given to Henrietta, Duchess of Marlborough, and remained largely intact until the 11th Duke of Leeds dispersed the family library at auction in 1930. This list was found and published by the New York Public Library as [[The Library of William Congreve]], by [John C. Hodges] in 1955.
