William Rufus Chetwood

William Rufus Chetwood (died 1766) was an English or Anglo-Irish publisher and bookseller, and a prolific writer of plays and adventure novels. He also penned a valuable ''General History of the Stage''.〔''The Concise Oxford Companion to Irish Literature'', ed. Robert Welch (Oxford, UK: OUP, 1947).〕
==Publishing and prompting==
Nothing certain is known of Chetwood's early life, but he may have spent an extended period at sea. In 1713 he appeared as the publisher of ''A Poem on the Memorable Fall of Chloe's P—s Pot'' (attributed to Jonathan Swift). In the following year he was acting as assistant manager to Joseph Ashbury's theatre company in Dublin. His first published writing appears to have been a ''Life of Lady Jane Grey'', published in Dublin in 1715. By June 1715 he was prompter at the Theatre Royal, Drury Lane, which he remained for much of the following twenty years.
Chetwood soon built up a business as a publisher and bookseller, operating either alone or in conjunction with other publishing houses. His repeated partners in publishing included Barnaby Bernard Lintot, John Watts, William Mears, and James Roberts. The joint ventures included several Shakespeare plays, almost every new London play between 1719 and 1722, Daniel Defoe's ''Moll Flanders'' and ''Colonel Jack'', Colley Cibber's collected plays, and many of Eliza Haywood's novels. Meanwhile he published alone plays by Theophilus Cibber, Thomas D'Urfey and Thomas Doggett, Richard Savage's memoirs of Theophilus Keene, and Haywood's novel ''Love in Excess''.
