Sir Francis Fane, chevalier du Bain, mort vers 1689[1], était un poète et dramaturge anglais ayant vécu sous le règne de Charles II[2].
Biographie
Il était le petit-fils de Francis Fane, 1er comte de Westmorland, son père étant l'un des plus jeunes fils de cet aristocrate. Il résida la plupart du temps à Fulbeck dans le Lincolnshire. Il fut nommé par le duc de Newcastle gouverneur, tout d'abord de Doncaster, puis de Lincoln[2]. Il fut créé chevalier du Bain en 1661 au couronnement de Charles II[3].
Plusieurs de ses contemporains, dont le comte de Rochester[1], Nahum Tate[4] et Gerard Langbaine[2], firent les louanges de son esprit et de ses capacités.
Œuvres
En plus de poèmes, Fane donna trois pièces de théâtre[2] :
- Love in the Dark, or the Man of Business, comédie en prose et en vers en cinq actes, en 1675, dédié au comte de Rochester
- Masque for Rochester's Valentinian en 1685
- Sacrifice, une tragédie en prose et en vers en cinq actes, en 1686
