George Colman

    Tento anglický dramatik a autor, známy ako „mladší“, sa preslávil svojimi divadelnými hrami a rozmanitou tvorbou. Jeho dielo sa vyznačuje bystrým pozorovaním spoločenských zvyklostí a často sa dotýka ľahších tém. Ako syn svojho otca, taktiež literáta, nadviazal na rodinnú tradíciu a zanechal v anglickej literatúre svoju nezameniteľnú stopu. Jeho štýl písania je často spájaný s vtipom a hravosťou jazyka, čo ho robí obľúbeným čítaním pre tých, ktorí ocenia duchaplné dialógy a situačnú komédiu.
