David Garrick, England's most celebrated actor-manager, owed much of his success to Shakespeare. This unusual book views him as a literary as well as a theatrical figure, examining the changes Garrick made to his idol's plays to please eighteenth-century London theatre audiences, and his involvement with Shakespearean editors.
