Product Description
Review
..."this book will be referred to often, and checked out of libraries often, as students continue to explore one of the great ages of intellectual history. ...this volume is a fitting tribute to a man who...actually deserves to be remembered...." J. T. Scanlan, Jrnl of English & Germanic Philology
Product Description
Edmond Malone (1741–1812) was the greatest early editor of Shakespeare's works, the first historian of early English drama, the biographer of Shakespeare, Dryden and Reynolds, and a relentless exposer of literary fraud and forgery. His dedication to discovering the facts of literary history through manuscripts and early editions laid the foundations for the scholar's code and the modern study of literature. Yet he was also a gregarious man, attracting many friends and enemies among his contemporaries. This first modern full-length biography of Edmond Malone illuminates in a unique way both the intensely private world of the scholar and the highly public world of the late eighteenth-century artistic, intellectual and political elite, including Samuel Johnson, Edmund Burke, Sir Joshua Reynolds, Sarah Siddons and James Boswell.

Moil Owen which was afterwards easily corrupted into Malone.' Read the first page
