 Abstract:

This talk examines the relationship between Shakespearean scholarship and the Shakespearean theatre, looking briefly at the troubled relationship between David Garrick and Samuel Johnson in the 18^th century before considering the 20^th and 21^st centuries and the work of such figures as William Poel, Harley Granville Barker, John Barton, and Stanley Wells.  What interests do the academy and the theatre share, and what continues to divide them?  What can it tell us about their current truce that Arden have just begun to publish a series of Performance Editions of Shakespeare?
