William Webbe (fl. 1568–1591)〔"Webbe, William" A Dictionary of Writers and their Works. Ed. Michael Cox. Oxford University Press, 2001.〕 was an English critic and translator. Little is known about him except that he attended Trinity College, Cambridge, and was a tutor for distinguished families. He wrote a ''Discourse of English Poetrie'' (1586), in which he discusses prosody and reviews English poetry up to his own day. He also translated Virgil's first two ''Eclogues.'' A letter by Webbe to Robert Wilmot (fl. 1568-1608) is prepended to the 1591 edition of Wilmot's play ''Tragedie of Tancred and Gismund''.〔Wilmot, Robert. ''The Tragedie of Tancred and Gismund''. London, 1591.〕 The letter, praising Wilmot for having decided to publish the tragedy, acts as a prefacing endorsement of the play. ==Notes== 〔
