Sažetak
“[B]eing complimented with the title of the Restorer of Shakespeare by a Literary Peer (I think Lord Dacre) he was known to have wept whenever he read the Letter.” So writes Samuel Pegge of Edward Capell in the only biography we have of this important eighteenth-century editor of Shakespeare. While the story can be shown to be apocryphal, the tears were probably genuine. This presentation inquires into their cause by focusing on Capell’s frustrated Shakespearean ambitions, especially as they relate to those of David Garrick. Brought together through their interest in old playbooks, their work for the theater, and their efforts to adapt Shakespeare, Capell and Garrick were ultimately divided by rival claims to the author whom they set out to restore.
