ELIZABETH GRIFFITH (1727 - 1793), author
'She wrote many plays after 1765, of which The School for Rakes (1769) was, and is, the most rewarding. She essayed poetry, did much translation from the French, and wrote other novels; and in 1775 she published The Morality of Shakespeare's Drama Illustrated.' -- Gwyn Jones
