"In March 1737, at the age of twenty, David Garrick and his lifelong friend and sometime teacher Samuel Johnson, who was twenty-seven, set out from their boyhood home in Lichfield to walk to London and make their way in the world. They became respectively the greatest man of the theatre and the greatest man of letters of their day. Ian McIntyre's book strips away the varnish of centuries and portrays the friendship of Garrick and Johnson as an altogether more difficult and prickly relationship than we might previously have thought." "Garrick himself emerges as one of the most talented and most splendid figures of the English eighteenth century, and one of the happiest. McIntyre has been able to reconstruct the daily life of Garrick's theatre for the first time in a biography, and to show his concerns and triumphs from season to season. Above all, he shows us, from Garrick's diaries and more than a thousand surviving letters, the voice and personality of this most attractive and engaging man."--Jacket
