St. John Emile Clavering Hankin (25 September 1869 – 15 June 1909) was a British Edwardian essayist and playwright. Along with George Bernard Shaw, John Galsworthy, and Harley Granville-Barker, he was a major exponent of Edwardian "New Drama". Despite success as a playwright he died by his own hand, and his work was largely neglected until the 1990s. ==Early years== Hankin was born in Southampton, England. During Hankin's youth, his father suffered a nervous breakdown and became an invalid.〔information provided by (The Mint Theater )〕 Hankin attended Malvern College and then Merton College, Oxford.〔''The British and American Drama of Today''.
