Mae'r erthygl hon am y bardd Seisnig. Am yr erthygl am y bardd o'r Waun o'r un cyfnod, gweler Thomas Myddleton.

Bardd a dramodydd o Loegr oedd Thomas Middleton (bedyddiwyd 18 Ebrill 1580 – Gorffennaf 1627). Cyd-weithiodd a Thomas Dekker a John Webster, ac roedd rhai yn drysu rhyngddo a William Shakespeare.

Ganed yn Llundain yn fab i adeiladwr cyfoethog. Aeth i Goleg y Frenhines, Rhydychen, cyn cadael heb raddio, ym 1598. Priododd ym 1603.

Gwaith

[golygu | golygu cod]

Cyhoeddodd gerddi tra yn Rhydychen tua 1600. Gwaharddwyd ei waith ar y pryd gan y sensor. Dechreuodd ysgrifennu pamffledi fel Penniless Parliament of Threadbare Poets a recordwyd ei waith gan Philip Henslowe yn ei ddyddiadur. Roedd yn gyfaill i Thomas Dekker ond yn elyniaethus at Ben Jonson a George Chapman yn y War of the Theatres. Ysgrifennodd Jonson drama The Staple of News sy'n enllibio drama Middleton, A Game at Chess.

Erbyn 1610, cydweithiodd Middleton â'r actor William Rowley, ac yn 1620, cafodd swydd "City Chronologer" ar gyfer Dinas Llundain. Daliodd y swydd tan 1627, pan aeth y swydd i Ben Jonson. Daeth ddiwedd ar ei ddramau yn 1624, pan waharddwyd A Game at Chess gan y Cyfrin Gyngor, ac dysgrifennodd dim byd wedyn. Bu farw yn ei dŷ yn Newington Butts ym 1627.
