Charles Gildon (c. 1665 – 1 January 1724), was an English hack writer who was, by turns, a translator, biographer, essayist, playwright, poet, author of fictional letters, fabulist, short story author, and critic. He provided the source for many lives of Restoration figures, although he appears to have propagated or invented numerous errors with them.

  • Charles Gildon (1665 - † Londres, 1 de enero de 1724) fue un escritor inglés de principios del siglo XVIII, así como traductor, biógrafo, ensayista, dramaturgo, poeta, fabulista y crítico literario. A él se deben numerosas informaciones sobre la vida de los actores de la Restauración inglesa, aunque parece ser que inventó y propagó numerosos rumores sobre ellos. Este controvertido escritor fue un claro objetivo de Alexander Pope tanto en su obra The Dunciad como en Epistle to Dr. Arbuthnot. Gildon también fue enemigo de Jonathan Swift. (es)
  • Charles Gildon (né vers 1665 et mort en 1724) est un écrivain anglais du début du XVIIIe siècle, tour à tour traducteur, biographe, essayiste, dramaturge, poète, auteur de lettres fictives, fabuliste et critique. On lui doit de nombreuses informations sur la vie de la plupart des auteurs de la Restauration anglaise, bien qu'il semble avoir inventé et propagé beaucoup de faits inexacts en ce qui les concerne. Cet écrivain controversé fut la cible d'Alexander Pope, à la fois dans La Dunciade et dans l'Épître au Dr. Arbuthnot. Gildon était également l'ennemi de Jonathan Swift. (fr)
