Philip See also:Henslowe as having written a See also:book or See also:play for the See also:Lord See also:Admiral's See also:company of actors in See also:October 1596; and in 1598 he was regularly engaged as a player in the company, in which he presumably had a See also:share, as no See also:wages are mentioned
.
He was also a member of other companies, of Lord See also:Southampton's, of the See also:earl of See also:Derby's and of the earl of See also:Worcester's players, afterwards known as the See also:Queen's Servants
.
In his See also:preface to the English Traveller (1633) he describes himself as having had " an entire See also:hand or at least a See also:main See also:finger in two See also:hundred and twenty plays." Of this number, probably considerably in-creased before the See also:close of his dramatic career, only twenty-three survive
.
He wrote for the See also:stage, not for the See also:press, and protested against the See also:printing of his See also:works, which he said be had no See also:- TIME (0. Eng. Lima, cf. Icel. timi, Swed. timme, hour, Dan. time; from the root also seen in " tide," properly the time of between the flow and ebb of the sea, cf. O.

Ward, one of Heywood's most sympathetic editors, points out that this epigrammatic statement can only be accepted with reservations
.
Heywood had a keen See also:eye for dramatic situations. and See also:great constructive skill, but his See also:powers of characterization were not on a See also:par with his stagecraft
.
He delighted in what he called " merry accidents," that is, in coarse, broad See also:farce; his See also:fancy and invention were inexhaustible
.
It was in the domestic See also:drama of sentiment that he won his most distinctive success
.
For this he was especially fitted by his genuine tenderness and his freedom from affectation, by the sweetness and gentleness for which Lamb praised him
.
His masterpiece, A Woman kilde with kindnesse (acted 1603; printed 16o7), is a type of the comedie larmoyante, and The English Traveller (1633) is a domestic tragedy scarcely inferior to it in pathos and in the See also:elevation of its moral See also:tone
.
His first play was probably The Foure Prentises of See also:London: With the See also:Conquest of See also:Jerusalem (printed 1615, but acted some fifteen years earlier)
.
This may have been intended as a See also:burlesque of the old romances, but it is more likely that it was meant seriously to attract the apprentice public to whom it was dedicated, and its popularity was no doubt aimed at in See also:Beaumont and See also:Fletcher's See also:travesty of the See also:City See also:taste in drama in their See also:Knight of the Burning Pestle
