Thomas Bridges (dramatist and parodist)
Thomas Bridges (c.1710 - 1775 or later) was an English writer of parodies, drama and one novel. He was born in Hull, the son of a physician. He became a wine merchant and a partner in a banking firm.
In 1762 he published, under the pseudonym Caustic Barebones, ''A Travestie of Homer'', a parody or burlesque translation of Homer's Iliad. The work achieved some popularity, and was reprinted several times, the last in 1797. In 1765 he wrote ''The Battle of the Genii'', a burlesque of John Milton's ''Paradise Lost'', which was once attributed to Francis Grose.
Bridges' only novel was ''The Adventures of a Bank-Note'', published in 1770. He wrote two plays: ''Dido'', a comic opera produced at the Haymarket Theatre in 1771, with music by James Hook; and ''The Dutchman'' (1775), a musical entertainment also with music by Hook.
