John Fletcher, a prominent Jacobean playwright, succeeded Shakespeare as the house playwright for the King's Men and was known for his prolific output and influence during his time. He collaborated with Francis Beaumont and co-wrote two plays with Shakespeare, achieving fame that rivaled Shakespeare's in the early Restoration. Despite his diminished reputation today, Fletcher is recognized as a crucial transitional figure bridging the Elizabethan popular tradition and the drama of the Restoration period.
