A talk by Celine Luppo McDaid, Donald Hyde Curator at Dr Johnson’s House
Join our Donald Hyde Curator to explore the emergence of Bardolatry during the 18th century, both on and off the stage, and chart the relationship between Johnson and Shakespeare, two of the greatest wordsmiths in the English language.

Hear more about the great contribution to literary criticism Johnson’s made with his landmark critical edition of 1765, and discover the various contemporary interpretations of Shakespeare on stage in the hands of David Garrick and his contemporaries.
