Edward Ravenscroft
1654 – 1707
Edward Ravenscroft (c. 1654 – 1707) was an English dramatist. He was the first critic to posit that Shakespeare's play Titus Andronicus was not originally written by him, but that he rather provided "some Master-touches" to an already extant piece. This position is now known as the "Ravenscroft tradition" within literary circles.
