Search for Identity In 1787, Tyler was recalled into military service, this time to help quell Shays's Rebellion, an insurrection of back-country farmers in Massachusetts who were resisting the government's economic policies, prosecution of debtors, and high taxes. After suppressing the rebellion Tyler was sent to New York City on official business. There he attended the theater for the first time and developed what would become a consuming passion for plays. Inspired by the New York production of English playwright Richard Brinsley Sheridan's The School for Scandal , Tyler decided to write his own play, and, just over a month later, The Contrast was staged at the John Street Theater. Tyler's effort met with a warm response; the play received generally favorable reviews and was soon performed in other American cities.

Tyler's two sonnets are found in The Spirit of the Farmers' Museum and the Lay Preacher's Gazette Tyler's two sonnets are best introduced in his own words: The plaintive and affected style of Charlotte Smith is familiar, it is supposed, to most readers. Criticism has frowned upon the verbose grief of a sobbing poetess. . . . We insert the following as a pleasant introduction to an attack soon to be made upon the above sighing sonneteer from the Shop of Colon and Spondee. [Smith published in Philadelphia in 1787 an edition of her "Elegiac Sonnets."] And this reft house is that the which he built, Lamented Jack! and here his malt he pil'd, Cautious in vain! These rats that squeak so wild, Squeak, not unconscious of their father's guilt. Did ye not see her gleaming through the glade!

Extractions: Remembered primarily as the author of The Contrast , the first comedy written by an American to be produced by a professional company, Tyler's remaining plays make us lament that he had other more respectable means of making a living. Born in Boston July 18, 1757, Tyler's father was a prominent merchant He attended Harvard College graduating in 1776. Later that year he received a BA from Yale. Already part of a group of young men interested in the arts, Tyler studied law and in 1778 the new Major Tyler served as aide to General Sullivan so that he was in a position to observe the attack on Newport that turned into such a fiasco when D'Estaing sailed into a storm to engage General Howe. After two more years, Tyler was admitted to the bar and practiced law in Maine and Massachusetts. While in Braintree, Massachusetts (now Quincy), he became engaged to John Adams' daughter Abby. But his betrothed went to Europe with her mother and because of the "gaiety" of her affianced nature, she broke it off, sending Tyler into a depression that caused him to cease his practice of law until he found consolation with Mary Palmer who was to become his wife.

Royall Tyler was born into a prosperous and enterprising Boston family. His intellectual qualities were early recognized, for when he graduated from Harvard in 1776 he was awarded a bachelor's degree from Yale as well. He interrupted his legal studies to serve as a major during the Revolution, was admitted to the bar in 1780, and joined the law office of John Adams. Tyler fell in love with the future president's daughter; but the engagement was broken off, reportedly because Adams disapproved of Tyler's high-spirited temperament. Tyler once more joined the Army during Shays' Rebellion (1786), and his eloquent speeches contributed to calming the rioters. While on military business in New York in 1787, Tyler attended the theater and, after seeing a production of
