Richard Brinsley Peake (19 February 1792 – 4 October 1847) was a dramatist of the early nineteenth century best remembered today for his 1823 play ''Presumption; or, the Fate of Frankenstein'', a work based on the novel ''Frankenstein'' by Mary Shelley. ==Early life== Richard Brinsley Peake was born in Gerard Street in Soho, London, the son of Richard Peake, who for forty years worked in the Treasury Office of the Theatre Royal, Drury Lane in London. He was named after the playwright Richard Brinsley Sheridan, who was a friend of his father.〔(John Russell Stephens, ‘Peake, Richard Brinsley (1792–1847)’, Oxford Dictionary of National Biography, Oxford University Press, 2004, accessed 28 April 2011 )〕 From 1809 to 1817 Peake was an apprentice with the engraver James Heath. On leaving Heath's employ in 1817 Peake began to write for the theatre; his first play was ''The Bridge that Carries Us Safe Over'', produced at the English Opera House in 1817, and which was quickly followed by a farce, ''Wanted, a Governess''.
