All that is known of Glapthorne is gathered from his own work. He was baptized in Cambridgeshire, the son of Thomas Glapthorne and Faith nee Hatcliff. His father was a bailiff of Lady Hatton, the wife of Sir Edward Coke.
Before he turned fourteen, Henry Glapthorne was matriculated as a pensioner at Corpus Christi College, Cambridge, but there is no record that he ever took a degree.
There is some evidence that Glapthorne may have been employed as a groom-porter in a nobleman's household during some of that time, but there is nothing conclusive. His best-regarded work is Argalus and Parthenia (c. 1633, printed 1639), based upon Sidney's Arcadia. Other plays are the comedy The Hollander (licensed for performance 12 March 1636), Wit in a Constable (c. 1636-1638), and the tragicomedy The Lady's Privilege (all printed 1640), and the historical tragedy Albertus Wallenstein (c. 1634-1639, printed 1639), based on the famous general in the Thirty Years' War. He published a volume of Poems in 1639, including a series addressed to "Lucinda", and a 1643 poem entitled "Whitehall", dedicated to Richard Lovelace, among other minor works. The first volume contains a poem in honour of the duke of York, and Whitehall is a review of the past glories of the English court, containing abundant evidences of the writer's devotion to the royal cause. Argalus and Parthenia (1639) is a pastoral tragedy founded on an episode in Sidney's Arcadia; Albertus Wallenstein (1639), his only attempt at historical tragedy, represents Wallenstein as a monster of pride and cruelty. His other plays are The Hollander (written 1635; printed 1640), a romantic comedy of which the scene is laid in Genoa; Wit in a Constable (1640), which is probably a version of an earlier play, and owes something to Shakespeare's Much Ado about Nothing; and The Ladies Priviledge (1640). The Lady Mother (1635) has been identified with The Noble Trial, one of the plays destroyed by Warburton's cook, and Mr A. H. Bullen prints it in vol. 2 of his Old English Plays as most probably Glapthorne's work. The play Revenge for Honour, first printed in 1654 and misattributed to George Chapman, may be another work by Glapthorne; it was entered into the Stationers' Register on 29 November 1653, as a Glapthorne work, under the title The Parricide, or Revenge for Honour. It should probably be included among Glapthorne's plays, which, though they hardly rise above the level of contemporary productions, contain many felicitous isolated passages. The Plays and Poems of Henry Glapthorne (1874) contains an unsigned memoir, which, however, gives no information about the dramatist's life. Glapthorne died in c. 1643.
