Epithet: formerly Knoblauch, playwright
Epithet: writer
Edward Knoblock was born in New York, part of a wealthy and aristocratic family. In his youth he wrote plays, and was encouraged to become a dramatist. After graduating from Harvard, he lived in New York, Paris, and London, trying to write a successful play. He became a prolific and popular playwright, often in collaboration with another author or adapting an existing story. His most popular and enduring work was Kismet, a light, exotic, colorful play that anticipated the success of musical comedies. He also wrote several novels and a few screenplays.
Edward Knoblock (1874-1945) was born in New York City and educated at Harvard, but spent most of his professional life living and working in Great Britain. Playwright, scenarist and novelist, Knoblock was in constant touch with many of the leading literary and artistic figures of his generation, as the ensuing collection will show. As well as working independently, Knoblock often collaborated with others. The plays, Milestones (1912), and, London Life (1924) were produced with the assistance of Arnold Bennett. Similarly, The Good Companions, originally published in 1929 by J.B. Priestley, was dramatised jointly by Knoblock and the author in 1931. Plays written by Knoblock alone include, The Faun (1911), Kismet (1911), My Lady's Dress (1914), Marie-Odile (1915), and Tiger-Tiger (1918). Among the novels written by Edward Knoblock are, The Ant Heap (1929), The Man With Two Mirrors (1931), The Love Lady (1933), and Inexperience (1941). Some of these works are referred to throughout the collection, notably by Dame Edith Sitwell and David Belasco.
