''The Wild Gallant'' is a Restoration comedy written by John Dryden. It was Dryden's earliest play, and written in prose, not verse; it was premiered on the stage by the King's Company at their Vere Street theatre, formerly Gibbon's Tennis Court, on February 5, 1663. (The play's opening scene features astrologers drawing horoscopes on the play's fortunes for that date.) As Dryden himself stated in his Preface, it was "the first attempt I made in Dramatique Poetry." ==Sources== Like the earliest works of many authors, and also like many other Restoration plays, ''The Wild Gallant'' is a derivative work: Dryden borrowed from several previous authors and plays, as far back as Ben Jonson's ''Every Man Out of His Humour'' (1599).〔Adolphus William Ward and Alfred Rayney Waller, eds., ''The Cambridge History of English Literature'', Cambridge, Cambridge University Press, 1912; Vol. 8, p. 18 n. 1.〕 Dryden admired the versification of Sir John Suckling, and quoted and paraphrased Suckling in his play.
