Book Details

Edition Notes

The text is signed: 'Edmond Malone. Queen-Anne-Street, East, April 23, 1792'; Jaggard has note: 'A reply to Ritson's "Cursory criticisms', being the 'late criticisms' of the title.

'Almost as soon as he had settled in London, Malone concentrated his attention on Shakespearean criticism ... The main results of [his] investigations were published in November 1790 in his edition of 'Shakespeare', which appeared in ten volumes ... Joseph Ritson charged him with a "total want of ear and judgment" in a pamphlet entitled 'Cursory Criticisms', 1792. "His pages abound" (according to Ritson) "with profound ignorance, idle conjectures, crude notions, feeble attempts at jocularity", and the like. Malone replied in April in "A Letter to the Rev. Richard Farmer, D.D."' [DNB].

Half-title leaf reads: 'A Letter to The Rev. Dr. Farmer, &c.'.
