Excerpt from The Spanish Gipsie, and All's Lost by Lust There is pretty general agreement as to the few main facts in the life of Thomas Middleton. He was born about 1570, probably in the city of London, and was the son of William and Anne Middleton. Practically everything he wrote shows the influence of a liberal education, and of early life in a family of refinement. It has been thought chat he was a university man, largely because of his easy reference to Cambridge in The Chaste Maid in Cheapside. In 1593 and again in 1596 a Thomas Middleton was admitted to Gray's Inn. Because of the legal knowledge shown in the plays, and because the earlier date seems more plausible in connection with the dates of the early works assigned to him, it is thought the dramatist was the one who entered Gray's in 1593. Henslowe's Diary, under date of May 12, 1602, contains the first certain reference to the dramatic writings of Thomas Middleton. It is generally believed, however, that he wrote The Old Law as early as 1599. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
