“Who winks and shuts his apprehension up.”
— Antonio's Revenge, Prologue, line 17. (1600)
“Sing of the nature of women, and then the song shall be surely full of variety; old crotchets and most sweet closes. It shall be humorous, grave, fantastic, amorous, melancholy, sprightly, one in all, and all in one.”
— The Malcontent, Act III, sc. iv. (1603-04)
“Marston is a writer of great merit, who rose to tragedy from the ground of comedy, and whose forte was not sympathy, either with the stronger or softer emotions, but an impatient scorn and bitter indignation against the vices and follies of men, which vented itself either in comic irony or in lofty invective. He was properly a satirist.”
— William Hazlitt Lectures on the Dramatic Literature of the Age of Elizabeth ([1820] 1845) Lecture 3, p. 57.

Overview

John Marston (25 October 1893 in Rosario – 9 July 1938 in Sherwood, Nottingham) was an Argentine-born English cricketer who played for Essex. Marston made two first-class appearances, the first during a 1923 West Indian tour of England, against whom Marston played in the tailend and was bowled by George Francis for just four runs. Marston failed to take any wickets with the ball on his debut. Marston made his second and final appearance in the 1924 County Championship, batting poorly and bowling uneconomically, after which he was dropped from the team.
