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 also 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). Volume 2 contains letters from the
final years of Garrick's life, notably his correspondence in French
with influential figures in Parisian theatre.
