Thomas Linley’s ‘Shakespeare Ode’ was written in the wake of the frenzy of ‘bardolatry’ provoked by the 1769 Jubilee. The text was a youthful essay by French Lawrence (1757-1809), later Professor of Civil Law at Oxford. It was first written at Winchester in 1773 as a school exercise, and was set by Linley in a revised and extended form
[Peter Holman, from Hyperion’s wbsite].
