Richard Farmer

Richard Farmer

Dr Richard Farmer (1735 - 1797) was a Shakespearean scholar.

Born at Leicester, England, he was educated at Cambridge, where he ultimately became Master of Emmanuel College. Farmer became a clergyman, and held a prebend in St. Paul's Cathedral. A Stratfordian, he wrote an "Essay on the Learning of Shakespeare" (1767), in which he maintained that Shakespeare's knowledge of the classics was through translations, the errors of which he reproduced.
