George Farquhar

George Farquhar (1677The explanation for the dual birth year appears in Louis A. Strauss, ed., (Boston: D.C. Heath & Co., 1914), p. v. Strauss notes that "Our sole source of information as to the time of his birth is the entry of his matriculation in the register of Trinity College" on 17 July 1694, where "His age is given as 17." Earlier biographers took this to mean Farquhar was in his 17th year—hence born in 1678—and Strauss favors this date. But later writers, such as William Myers, ed.,, (Oxford: Oxford University Press, 1995), p. vii, give the dual year, and John Ross, ed., George Farquhar: The Recruiting Officer (New Mermaids), 2nd ed., (London: A&C Black, 1991), p. xiii, gives a birthdate of "ca. 1677" for the playwright. – 29 April 1707) was an Irish dramatist.
