Nigel Cliff, author of The Shakespeare Riots, discusses the 1849 feud between England’s leading Shakespearean actor and American’s first star of the stage that turned into a full-scale riot in New York. With Bardolatry at its height, the struggle centered on the question of who “owned” Shakespeare.
