Although The New York Times hailed him in his obituary as "the most conspicuous English dramatist of the 19th century,"[3] he and his second wife, Agnes Robertson Boucicault, had applied for and received American citizenship in 1873.[4] Boucicault rapidly followed this with a number of other plays, among the most successful being The Bastile [sic], an "after-piece" (1842), Old Heads and Young Hearts (1844), The School for Scheming (1847), Confidence (1848), and The Knight Arva (1848), all produced at Her Majesty's Theatre.[13] He had further great successes with The Corsican Brothers (1852, for Charles Kean) and Louis XI (1855), both adaptations of French plays. ^ "Dion Boucicault", The New York Times, 19 September 1890	./cache/en-wikipedia-org-8842.html	./txt/en-wikipedia-org-8842.txt
