( About the Book Titles about politicians relate to peopl...)
About the Book Titles about politicians relate to people who were active in party politics, or sought office in government. These include politicians in both democratic and non-democratic countries. Some politicians that were engaged in the art or science of government, created laws or policies that governed their countries and the people who lived in them. These may be biographies or autobiographies. Also in this Book Our offering includes memoirs, or collections of memories that individuals have written about moments or events, both public or private, that took place in their lives. While the assertions made in these works are generally taken to be factual, the biases or perspectives of the authors are often present. Historically, memoirs have been defined as a subcategory of biography or autobiography, however the genre is differentiated in form, since it presents a narrower focus. While a biography or autobiography tells the story "of a life", a memoir generally tells the story "from a life", tending to emphasize touchstone events and turning points in the author's life experience. The authors are referred to as memoirists or memorialists. About us Leopold Classic Library has the goal of making available to readers the classic books that have been out of print for decades.

John Crowne was the eldest of the three children of William and Agnes Mackworth Crowne and was probably born in Shropshire, England, where the family estates of his mother were situated.
He accompanied his father to New England in the summer of 1657 when the latter came with Col. Thomas Temple to take possession of the province of Nova Scotia.
In the fall of 1657 his father entered him at Harvard College and proceeded to the Penobscot River country. Crowne was a student at Harvard for three years, but did not graduate.
He returned with his father to England early in 1661. When in 1667 by the Treaty of Breda the elder Crowne lost his estates in Nova Scotia he could no longer assist his son, who turned to the theatre for a livelihood. By his own confession it was the loss of his father’s fortune that caused him to “run into that Madness call’d Poetry” and to frequent “that Bedlam call’d a Stage. ”
He began his career with the tragi-comedy Juliana (1671) but soon devoted his attention to tragedies.
He achieved his first considerable success with The Destruction of Jerusalem (1677).
He wrote with his eye on the financial rewards and in his efforts to trim his sails to the changing winds of popular favor he attempted all types of drama.
In the summer of 1674, with both Settle and Dryden out of favor, the Earl of Rochester asked Crowne to produce a court masque. His masque, Calisto, first performed in December 1674, won him the favor of Charles II. This was increased by the King’s hearty enjoyment of The Countrey Wit, produced in 1675.
In 1679, at the suggestion of his father, he attempted to capitalize this royal favor when he petitioned, unsuccessfully, for Mounthope, near the Plymouth settlements.
The following year he attempted to secure the proprietorship of Boston Neck, a valuable tract of land in the Narragansett country, but without success.
During the turbulent period following the Popish Plot, Crowne allied himself with the Tory group and produced the comedy, City Poli- tiques, a clever political satire against the Whigs. Having again pleased Charles II he petitioned for a sinecure that would give him financial independence.
The king first demanded another comedy. Crowne reluctantly wrote Sir Courtly Nice, now the best known of his many plays, but on the day of the last rehearsal the king was seized with a fit and died three days later.
During the last years of his life the struggling playwright suffered from poverty and want. He never ceased his attempts to recover his father’s lands in Nova Scotia, but, though he sometimes lived upon the royal bounty, he failed to secure compensation for the loss of his valuable patrimony.
He died in obscurity in London.
