Edmund Yates

Edmund Hodgson Yates (July 3, 1831 - May 20, 1894) was a British novelist and dramatist. He was born in Edinburgh to the actor and theatre manager Frederick Henry Yates and held an appointment for a period of time in the General Post Office as an adult. He worked as a journalist, mainly as a dramatic writer, and also wrote many dramatic pieces and some novels, including "Running the Gauntlet" and "The Black Sheep".

Yates was perhaps best known as editor of "The World" society journal. He was also the author of and performed in "Invitations" at Egyptian Hall, London, which ran in 1862–1863. The work was a highly successful comedy in which he and Harold Littledale Power posed as hosts to a variety of singers and actors. Power also performed songs and imitations.
