About Richard Cumberland

Richard Cumberland was an English dramatist and civil servant. In 1771 his hit play The West Indian was first staged. During the American War of Independence he acted as a secret negotiator with Spain in an effort to secure a Spanish peace agreement with Britain. He also edited a short-lived critical journal called The London Review (1809). His plays are often remembered for their sympathetic depiction of characters on the margins of Britain and its empire.
