EDITORS COMMENTS
This print depicts Edward Capell (1715-1781), a renowned Shakespearean critic and commentator of his time. Capell's scholarly contributions significantly influenced the understanding and interpretation of the Bard's works during the 18th century. Born in London, Capell was educated at Westminster School and Trinity College, Cambridge. He began his literary career as a translator, producing works in various languages. However, it was his passion for Shakespeare that truly set him apart. Capell's groundbreaking annotated edition of the Complete Works of Shakespeare, published in 1768, is considered one of the most important scholarly achievements of the 18th century. Capell's annotated edition was a game-changer in Shakespearean studies, as it included extensive notes, emendations, and explanations that provided valuable insights into the plays and sonnets. Capell's meticulous research and deep understanding of the Elizabethan era helped to clarify many uncertainties and inconsistencies in the texts. This print captures Capell in the prime of his scholarly career, with a quill pen in hand and a pile of Shakespearean folios at his feet. The serious expression on his face conveys the intensity and dedication he brought to his work. The elegant furnishings and bookshelves filled with classical texts in the background underscore Capell's erudition and commitment to the study of Shakespeare. Capell's legacy as a Shakespearean scholar continues to be celebrated today, and his annotated edition remains a valuable resource for scholars and enthusiasts alike. This print serves as a testament to Capell's enduring influence on the world of Shakespearean studies.
