The Grateful Servant
''The Grateful Servant'' is a Caroline era stage play, a tragicomedy written by James Shirley, and first published in 1630. Its publication marked a significant development in Shirley's evolving literary career.
The play was licensed for performance by Sir Henry Herbert, the Master of the Revels, on 3 November 1629, under the title ''The Faithful Servant''. It was acted by Queen Henrietta's Men at the Cockpit Theatre, as were most of Shirley's plays in this era.
==Publication==
The play was entered into the Stationers' Register on 26 February 1630 and published in quarto later that year by the bookseller John Grove. Shirley dedicated the play to Francis Manners, 6th Earl of Rutland. The 1630 quarto is noteworthy in that the play's text is preceded by eleven commendatory poems from contemporary literary men, including Philip Massinger, Thomas May, and Thomas Randolph — showing that Shirley, who had been writing professionally for only about four years at that time, was rapidly becoming recognized as a significant figure on the literary scene.〔Clark, pp. 113-14.〕 The play was reprinted in 1637, in a quarto printed by John Okes for William Leake. A third edition followed in 1655, also from Leake.
