Harriman‐Smith, James, ‘Garrick and Shakespeare in Europe’, Journal for Eighteenth-Century Studies, 2020, 1754-0208.12690 <https://doi.org/10.1111/1754-0208.12690>

This article falls into two parts. In the first, I show how Garrick’s performances and responses to them in various media intersected with a particular understanding of Shakespeare’s beauties while also projecting across Europe a set of ‘Garrickean’ attributes. My second section considers a French and a German translation of Macbeth, whose composition and reception bear the marks of a Garrickean Shakespeare. Such marking indicates the joint influence of Garrick and Shakespeare outside England, and indicates how celebrity performance, despite the transiency of the original events, can be re-inscribed through translation and other kinds of international circulation.
