Framed Prints
Framed Print of The late Mr. John Payne Collier, Shakspearian scholar, 1883. Creator: Unknown
The late Mr. John Payne Collier, Shakspearian scholar, 1883. Engraving from a photograph by Messrs. Sydney and Ernest White, of...a literary veteran well known for his protracted studies of the text of Shakspeare and the other Elizabethan dramatists...in 1816 he married a lady with an independent income, and thenceforth devoted himself to purely literary studies...he was appointed to the charge of the valuable libraries of the late Earl of Ellesmere and the late Duke of Devonshire, which led him to compile a "Bibliographical and Critical Catalogue" of great service to book collectors. After a time he applied his chief study to biographical researches concerning the life of Shakspeare, upon which subject he published more than one treatise. His discovery in 1859 of a copy of the folio edition of 1632, with marginal corrections in some unknown handwriting, which he supposed to have been made with authority by a contemporary of Shakspeare, and which introduced a multitude of variations from the received text, has not obtained general approval'. Collier's reputation has declined as a result of the Perkins Folio forgery. From "Illustrated London News", 1883.
