Disambiguation[edit]

Please note that there are three different 17th century English men called William Cartwright :

William Cartwright (floruit 1598-1636), an English actor
William Cartwright (1606-1686), an English actor, son of the first one above
William Cartwright (1611-1643), an English dramatist (this article)

See the disambiguation page I made on French Wikipedia : fr:William Cartwright

As a matter of fact, several pages that link here, in particular those related to the English Restoration period, do not link to the right William Cartwright : they should link to William Cartwright (1606-1686).

Here are the information and links I could gather on the Internet about this disambiguation, and William Cartwright (1606-1686) in particular :

http://shakespeareauthorship.com/bd/bio-c.htm :

Cartwright, William (I) (fl. 1598-1636). Actor (Admiral's-Prince Henry's-Palsgrave's 1598-1624; King and Queen of Bohemia's; Red Bull-King's; King's Revels; Queen Henrietta's 1635). (Father of William Cartwright (II))

Cartwright, William (II) (c.1606-86). Actor (Norwich 1635; Queen Henrietta's 1635-40; London 1648; Red Bull 1659; King's 1660-82; United Company 1682-85). (Son of William Cartwright (I))

The fortunes of the players under the Commonwealth may be followed in some detail in James Wright’s Historia Histrionica 1699 (reprinted in Hazlitt’s Dodsley (vol. XV), and in Whitelocke’s Memorials. It is, perhaps, worth noticing here that, in 1658, William Cartwright found courage to reprint Heywood’s Apology, under the title An Actor’s Vindication.

Enriched by theater, just as Shakespeare was, Alleyn left an institution intended to shelter the old and educate the young. Over two centuries, Dulwich College sank into somnolence, but it did own some 100 old-master paintings left by Alleyn and actor/bookseller William Cartwright (1606-86).

Edward Alleyn had a large collection of portraits which were supplemented in 1686 by a bequest from another actor-manager, William Cartwright (1606-86).
