Edmond Malone was een Ierse Shakespeare-geleerde en redacteur van de werken van William Shakespeare. Nu hij financieel onafhankelijk was, gaf hij zijn juridische praktijk op voor literaire bezigheden en werd hij een vaste waarde in de Londense intellectuele kringen, waar hij vooraanstaande geleerden hielp met hun publicaties. Zijn baanbrekende werk richtte zich op het vaststellen van de chronologische volgorde van Shakespeare's toneelstukken, een grensverleggende onderneming die de constructie van de biografie van de toneelschrijver via zijn werken mogelijk maakte. Malone speelde ook een cruciale rol in het ontmaskeren van literaire vervalsingen, waarmee hij zijn scherpe kritische blik en toewijding aan tekstuele integriteit toonde.
