16th and 17th-century English poet, playwright, and religious writer
William Alabaster from a contemporary etching.
William Alabaster (also Alablaster, Arblastier) (27 February 1567 – buried 28 April 1640)[1] was an English Neo-Latin poet, playwright, and religious writer.[a][2]
Alabaster became a Roman Catholic convert in Spain when on a diplomatic mission as chaplain. His religious beliefs led him to be imprisoned several times; eventually he gave up Catholicism, and was favoured by James I. He received a prebend in St Paul's Cathedral, London, and the living of Therfield, Hertfordshire. He died at Little Shelford, Cambridgeshire.
