The life of this actor, manager, play-wright, and eighteenth-century gentle-man is here refracted through the volu-rninous correspondence and analyses of roles, plays, and performances in this, no doubt final, biography of David Garrick. "" As the direct result of modern scholar-ship accessible only since the 1960s, it is now possible to appraise fully the life of this remarkable person who was born in Lichfield 19February 1717, a child-hood friend of Samuel Johnson, who be-came the greatest English theatrical lu-minary who ever lived, and who when he died 20 January 1779was mourned by the nation and eulogized by Dr. Johnson as one whose death "eclipsed the gaiety of nations." For twenty-nine years (1747-1776) Garrick managed Drury Lane theatre, caring passionately for its well-being. His own acting set the pace for the per-formances, his discipline carried it on, and his theatrical innovations attracted the audiences on which the lives, hopes, and families of some 140actors, actress-es, singers, dancers, and others depend-ed. In addition, he wrote, adapted, or altered some 49 plays and wrote nearly 100 prologues. What emerges from this big, new critical biography is a fully drawn por-trait of an eighteenth-century gentleman, with a wide range of acquaintances, elegant socially, morally, and personal-ly, and an engaging conversationalist with and respecter of women of mark and with his closest friends. He was also, as the evidence now shows, the solid link with his own age and the great dramatic artists of the past, from the Restoration playwrights to Massinger, Jonson, Shakespeare, and early English dram-atists.
Explore the life and career of David Garrick, one of the most celebrated actors and theater managers in English history. This biography delves into Garrick's profound influence on 18th-century British theater, examining his innovative acting techniques and his impact on the development of theatrical arts. From his early performances to his management of the Drury Lane Theatre, Garrick's story is a fascinating look at a pivotal figure in the world of performing arts. Discover how his dedication and talent shaped the landscape of British theater for generations to come.

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). Containing correspondence for the period 1736–74, Volume 1 also includes a biographical account that traces the progress of Garrick's theatrical career.
