George Wilkins
George Wilkins (c.1576-1618) was an English dramatist and pamphleteer best known for his probable collaboration with Shakespeare on the play ''Pericles, Prince of Tyre''. By profession he was an inn-keeper, but he was also apparently involved in criminal activities.
==Life==
Wilkins was an inn-keeper in Cow-Cross, London, an area that was "notorious as a haunt of whores and thieves".〔Roger Warren, Gary Taylor, MacDonald Pairman Jackson, ''A reconstructed text of Pericles, Prince of Tyre'', Oxford, Oxford University Press, 2004, pp.6-7.〕 Most biographical information about him derives from his regular appearance in criminal court records for thievery and acts of violence. Many of the charges against him involved violence against women, including kicking a pregnant woman in the belly, and knocking down and stomping another woman. The latter appears in other records as a known "bawd", or keeper of prostitutes. These facts have led to the suggestion that his inn functioned as a brothel and that Wilkins was a procurer, or pimp.〔〔See Charles Nicholl, 'The gent upstairs', ''Guardian'' 20-10-2007, and his book ''The Lodger'' (2007)〕
Wilkins was associated with the King's Men, and their chief playwright William Shakespeare, during the latter's last working years as a dramatist. Shakespeare and Wilkins were both witnesses in the case of Bellott v. Mountjoy in 1612; in his deposition he described himself as a "victualler."
