The Private Correspondence of David Garrick with the Most Celebrated Persons of His Time 2 Volume Set

Autor David Garrick Editat de James Boaden
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 5 sep 2013
David Garrick (1717–79) is synonymous with the golden age of English theatre. Widely acclaimed as an actor, he went on to become a shrewd theatre manager at Drury Lane. His years in charge of the Theatre Royal ensured its dramatic ascendancy and burnished his own considerable celebrity. These letters, first published in 1831, reveal Garrick's gregarious nature and shed light on his many friendships with leading ladies, fellow actors, contemporary playwrights, and members of high society. His love of Shakespeare's work is evident, highlighting Garrick's pivotal role in ensuring the plays became established in the national consciousness. This two-volume collection was edited by James Boaden (1762–1839), who published several theatrical biographies (also reissued in this series). Including a biographical account, Volume 1 contains correspondence for the period 1736–74. Volume 2 contains letters from Garrick's final years, notably his correspondence in French with influential figures in Parisian theatre.
