Authority Cited: Southern[e]; Southerne
Author name and dates: Thomas Southerne (1660-1746)
BKG Bio-tweet: Irish protestant; prolific London playwright; first writer in English to denounce traffic in slaves (Oroonoko)
Categories (list of works cited – preliminary) [BKG Note: about 32 total Southerne cites in vol. 1 of the 1755 Dict., about 28 total cites in vol. 2 of the 1755 Dict. The only pre-1755 editions of Southerne's Works identified were published in 1713 and 1721. Because the Spartan Dame was published first in 1719, it is likely that SJ used the two-volume 1721 edition of the Works. All of the citations below are found in Volume 2 of the 1721 edition, with the single exception of one quote from The Disappointment. This quote is from the opening lines of the play and is inexact, and so may be from memory.]
