The Antiquary (play)
''The Antiquary'' is a Caroline era stage play, a comedy written by Shackerley Marmion. It was acted in the 1634–36 period by Queen Henrietta's Men at the Cockpit Theatre, and first published in 1641. ''The Antiquary'' has been succinctly described as "Marmion's best play."〔Dominic Head, ed., ''The Cambridge Guide to Literature in English'', third edition, Cambridge, Cambridge University Press, 2006; p. 714.〕
==Contemporary references==
The play drew upon several contemporary sources for its inspiration. Antiquarianism and the collection of "rarities" was a growing trend in Marmion's era.〔Carson Samuel Duncan, ''The New Science and English Literature in the Classical Period'', Menasha, WI, George Banta Publishing, 1918.〕 Marmion's title character, Veterano, has a habit of staring at a sculpture with a broken nose; this may have been intended as an allusion to Thomas Howard, 21st Earl of Arundel, a famous antiquarian and art collector of the day.〔Nicholas Tyacke, ''Aspects of English Protestantism C. 1530–1700'', Manchester, Manchester University Press, 2001; p. 238.〕 Marmion also was influenced by a contemporary controversy: in 1629, King Charles I and his Privy Council developed a scheme to confiscate the collection of the celebrated antiquary Charles Cotton the elder.〔W. R. Gair, "The Politics of Scholarship: A Dramatic Comment on the Autocracy of Charles I," in: ''Elizabethan Theatre III'', David Galloway, ed., Waterloo, ON, University of Waterloo Press, 1973; pp. 100–18.〕
