Anthony Munday information


Anthony Munday (or Monday) (1560? – 10 August 1633) was an English playwright and miscellaneous writer. He was baptized on 13 October 1560 in St Gregory by St Paul's, London, and was the son of Christopher Munday, a stationer, and Jane Munday.[1] He was one of the chief predecessors of Shakespeare in English dramatic composition, and wrote plays about Robin Hood.
