Shakespeare's Scholar

Richard Grant White was one of the foremost Shakespeare scholars of the nineteenth century, and his magnum opus remains one of the most insightful and authoritative critical readings of Shakespeare's plays and poetry. Informed by a deep historical and philosophical understanding of the Bard's works, White offers a unique and incisive perspective on the evolution of Shakespearean scholarship over the years, and his critiques of the influential Victorian editor John Payne Collier remain essential reading to this day. A masterpiece of literary criticism that has stood the test of time.
