John Fletcher, a prominent Jacobean playwright, succeeded Shakespeare as the house playwright for the King's Men and was a prolific figure in early 17th-century drama. His collaborations with Francis Beaumont and Shakespeare highlight his influence during his lifetime, when his fame rivaled that of Shakespeare. Fletcher's work serves as a critical link between the Elizabethan theatrical tradition and the emerging popular drama of the Restoration, marking him as a significant transitional figure in English literature.
