Margaret Jowett
Margaret Jowett (born 1921) is a British children's writer who wrote two historical novels about the English theatre. She wrote that her books were intended for those readers "who will one day take their theatrical scholarship neat, but are not yet of an age to do so".〔Book jacket of ''A Cry of Players''〕
Her novel ''Candidate for Fame'' (1955), set in Richard Sheridan's Drury Lane theatre, was commended for the Carnegie Medal in 1955. Its title is a reference to the actress Sarah Siddons, who described herself as "an ambitious candidate for fame".〔''Three Tragic Actresses: Siddons, Rachel, Ristori'' by Michael R. Booth, John Stokes, Susan Bassnett, Cambridge University Press, 1996, p.15, quoting Siddons' memoir〕 Jowett's story of Deborah Keate, the daughter of a travelling actor-manager in the reign of George III, provides a framework for a description of 18th-century society, politics, and theatre. The novel includes portrayals of the Season at Bath, the furore of a Westminster election, the rivalries of leading ladies and the political intrigues connected with the theatre.〔
''A Cry of Players'' (1961) is set in the world of Elizabethan theatre. It tells the story of Harry Lulworth, who becomes a boy player in London acting in plays by a new dramatist, Will Shakespeare, while looking for his father, a player who has mysteriously disappeared.
==Life==
From 1943 to 1950 Jowett taught English at Withington Girls' School.〔''The Writers Directory''〕
