Francois Pierre Guillaume Guizot. He lived with his mistress, Miss Ann Elliot, uneducated girl of natural abilities whom he brought on the stage; he wrote her biography ; and transferred her money to relatives at her death. At first he was unhappy with both the people and the country, but he was introduced into society and eventually became reconciled to both. In spite of his having received the majority of his formal education in France, it was during his time in Cork that he developed a mastery of the French language.

In April he returned to London, having refused to sail to Jamaica on his uncle Jeffrey French's orders, and as a result, was disowned and disinherited by his uncle. Aged 27, Murphy began his connection with the stage, being engaged to act at Covent Garden for the season. Apparently successful, he performed eight other roles there during that season. During the season Murphy acted with the company at Drury Lane , his second and final year upon the stage. Throughout his life he appears to have regretted having ever been an actor.

Early in he submitted his first dramatic work, a two-act farce entitled The Young Apprentice , to David Garrick for production at Drury Lane. This play initiated the first of many disagreements between Murphy and Garrick concerning both the content and the scheduling for performance of Murphy's plays, Murphy usually wanting a performance date earlier than suited Garrick and Garrick procrastinating on the date by requesting changes in the next of the play.

As a result Murphy withdrew his play from Garrick's consideration, an action he would take several times during his career as a playwright, and the play was not performed until 2 January under the title The Apprentice. During this period Murphy also began a series of articles for The Chronicle called The Theatre, in which he offered criticism of the contemporary theatre and acting; these essays continued intermittently for a period of two years, and many modern critics agree with John P. Emery's estimations 3 that…. His plays were mostly farces; the most well-known being Grecian Daughter which was first performed at Drury Lane on 26 February , and his most critically acclaimed being Know your own mind, which was written in and first performed at Covent Garden on 22 February Modern critics generally agree that in Know Your Own Mind he wrote a play that it equals or betters any other written by his contemporaries.

Early in he completed Henry Fielding's Works, for which he wrote an essay on the life of the author.

Biography of Arthur Murphy

This was almost universally praised by contemporaries and was reprinted for nearly a century. Murphy is also renowned for two other later biographies: Late in life he translated the works of Tacitus, an edition that has been reprinted through the twentieth century. It is notable for its close mimicry of Tacitus' Latin style, which is usually lost in English translations. Murphy took an action that was to have a substantial negative effect on both the public and the critical reception of his subsequent plays: During the period of its publication The Test and its opposing paper The Con-Test were the centre of much political discussion.

Murphy's service for Henry Fox rewarded him with acceptance into Lincoln's Inn in through Fox's influence, after he had been refused entrance by both the Middle Temple and Gray's Inn presumably on the grounds that he was an actor.
