2 unusual facts about The Wild Gallant


The Wild Gallant

Critic Alfred Harbage argued that Richard Brome was the likely author of the work in its original form.

Like the earliest works of many authors, and also like many other Restoration plays, The Wild Gallant is a derivative work: Dryden borrowed from several previous authors and plays, as far back as Ben Jonson's Every Man Out of His Humour (1599).
