		The critical portions of Rowe's account look backward and forward: backward to the Restoration, among whose critical controversies the eighteenth-century Shakespeare took shape; and forward to the long succession of critical writings that, by the end of the century, had secured for Shakespeare his position as the greatest of the English poets.
		Rowe presents to his reader the Restoration Shakespeare: the original genius, the antithesis of Jonson, the exception to the rule and the instance that diminishes the importance of the rules.
		Rowe's criticism is so little original, so far from idiosyncratic, that it is unnecessary to assume that his response to the characters in the comedies is unique.

		He rejects most of the legends preserved by Shakespeare's first biographer, Nicholas Rowe, but is inclined to accept Aubrey's statement (on the authority of the actor, William Beeston) that Shakespeare was for a time a schoolmaster in the country.
		"Rowe's interpretation of the evidence afforded by the plays allows him to represent Shakespeare as lacking a regular education and goes half-way to the extreme view that Shakespeare was a vulgar or unlettered man, who could not therefore have written the works attributed to him by his colleagues and contemporaries."
		As long as the notion that Shakespeare was in the habit of rewriting the plays of other dramatists was generally accepted no difficulty seemed to be raised by regarding Lear as Shakespeare's revision of Leir.
