Author: Burton, W.
Biography:
BURTON, W. (fl 1801-04)
He was a comic actor but no certain biographical information has been found. Highfill quotes from A Pasquinade but does not give any details about Burton’s life. Votaries of Love: a Poem (1804; no copy located), by “W. Burton, Comedian,” is surely also by him. George Wilson (q.v.) published a response to A Pasquinade. (Highfill; Thomas Rodd, Catalogue of Twelve Thousand Tracts, Pamphlets, and Unbound Books [1819])
