From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia
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. 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.
