Tobin, John, 1770-1804

Tobin wrote plays for many years and struggled to get them produced. His most famous play, The Honey Moon (1805), was his first to be accepted for performance. However, he died soon after and did not get to see The Honey Moon debut. Tobin was known for taking plots from other plays for his own, and he became more well-known posthumously, as previously-rejected plays were reevaluated and staged.

Tighe, Mary, 1772-1810

A well-educated Irish poet known for Psyche; or the Legend of Love (1805), a rewrite of the legend of Psyche and Eros which reverses the male's objectification of the female. Psyche was successful and received tributes from Felicia Hemans and Thomas Moore.
