Since his death in 1744, Theobald's reputation as a scholar and critic has been determined chiefly by Pope's Dunciad Variorum (1729) and Johnson's Preface to Shakespeare (1765). This study, while putting the hostile views of Pope and Johnson into their intellectual and social contexts,reassesses Theobald's aims and achievements from the perspective of twentieth-century textual scholarship: his concerns with Elizabethan philology, palaeography, and bibliography, which were usually ignored or ridiculed in his own time, are seen to be distinctly modern. At the same time, attentionis paid to his critical understanding of Shakespeare. The result is a radical alteration of our view of him: instead of appearing a contemptible dunce, Theobald takes his place as the pioneer of techniques of modern literary scholarship whose critical acumen still illuminates our understanding ofShakespeare today.
