Book Description: The first in this major new series builds on the success of previous 'Pickering Lives' editions. The series offers a unique opportunity to view the creation of Shakespeare's after-life and reputation through the works of his major theatrical interpreters. This, the first part, focuses on David Garrick and the leading actors of his company at Drury Lane. In their time, Garrick, Macklin and Woffington were as famous for their achievements on the stage as they were infamous for their activities off it. The publishing market responded to an insatiable public appetite for tips on their naturalistic acting technique, critical insights into ground-breaking performances, and above all, juicy titbits about their personalities and social lives. This edition draws together a carefully edited selection of the actors' own words with those of their contemporaries and critics. Texts are presented in digitally enhanced facsimile and are supported by extensive new editorial material including a general introduction, volume introductions, headnotes, endnotes, bibliographies, chronologies and a consolidated index.
