    Extractions: English playwright and poet. Born in Bardsey, England (near Leeds), Congreve was educated in the law at Trinity College in Dublin, Ireland; there he met Jonathan Swift , who would be his friend for the remainder of his life. Upon graduation, he became a disciple of John Dryden , William Congreve wrote some of the most popular English plays of the late 17th and very early 18th centuries. By the age of thirty, he had written several notable plays, including 1700's The Way of the World . Unfortunately, his career ended almost as soon as it began. After writing five plays from his first in 1693 until 1700, he produced no more as public tastes turned against the sort of high-brow sexual comedy of manners in which he specialized. He reportedly was particularly stung by a critique written by Jeremy Collier ( A Short View of the Immorality and Profaneness of the English Stage ), to the point that he wrote a long reply, "Amendments of Mr. Collier's False and Imperfect Citations". In any case, he withdrew from the theatre and lived the rest of his life on residuals from his early work. His output from 1700 was restricted to the occasional poem and some translation (notably Molière 's Monsieur de Pourceaugnac ). Congreve died in a London carriage accident in 1729, and was buried in the Poet's Corner of Westminster Abbey. Two of Congreve's turns of phrase have entered the English language. "Heaven has no rage like love to hatred turned, Nor hell a fury like a woman scorned" is from Act I, Scene I of his play

Congreve was born near Leeds, but educated in Ireland. He met Irish satirist Jonathon Swift at Trinity College, Dublin and began legal training but gave it up to pursue his literary ambitions.

    Extractions: An artillery colonel in the British army whose interest in rocketry was stimulated by the success of Indian rocket barrages against the British in 1792 and again in 1799 at Seringapatam (see Tipu Sultan ). Congreve's black powder rockets proved highly effective in battle. Used by British ships to pound Fort McHenry, they inspired Francis Scott Key to write of "the rockets' red glare" in a poem that later provided the words to The Star-Spangled Banner. Congreve's rockets were used in the Napoleonic Wars and in the War of 1812.
