Description

Explore the complex life of one of the most controversial figures in literary history with this two-volume set from the Elizabethan Club Series. John Payne Collier (1789-1883) lived a double life that shaped the study of Shakespearean era literature. As a prolific writer, he made significant contributions to the understanding of drama, poetry, and popular prose from the Elizabethan age. However, his legacy is equally defined by his role as a creator of forgeries and false evidence that impacted the field of scholarship. This work provides a deep look into his dual identity as both a respected scholar and a master of deception. This major two-volume set is the result of meticulous research and provides a superb biography that spans a thousand pages. It is an essential resource for historians, literary scholars, and those interested in the history of nineteenth-century scholarship and the truth behind historical literary evidence.
