George Lillo (3 February 1691 – 4 September 1739)[1] was an English playwright and tragedian. He was also a jeweller in London. He produced his first stage work, Silvia, or The Country Burial, in 1730, and a year later his most famous play, The London Merchant. He wrote at least six more plays before his death in 1739, including The Christian Hero (1735), Fatal Curiosity (1737) and Marina (1738).[2]
^The Oxford Dictionary of National Biography sets out the conflicting evidence on Lillo's year of birth: 1693 is also a possible year.
