The Atlantic. Review of Plutarch’s Lives, by Arthur Hugh Clough, John Dryden, and Plutarch. January 1860. https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/1860/01/plutarchs-lives/627616/
Some excellent quotes and evidence for the importance of Plutarch's Lives, almost more so than the importance of this particular translation.

But the chief interest of this translation at the present day, except what it possesses as a storehouse of good mother-English, comes from the fact that it was one of the books of Shakespeare’s moderate library, and one which he had thoroughly read, as is manifest from the use that he made of it in his own works, especially in "Coriolanus,” “Julius Ca;sar,” and “Antony and Cleopatra.”
Shakespeare's versions of Coriolanus, Julius Caesar, and Anthony and Cleopatra origininate from Plutarch's Lives by way of the English translations of Thomas North who was translating from the French version of Jacques Amyrot.

“There is a tide in the affairs of menWhich, taken at the flood, leads on to fortune;Omitted, all the voyage of their lifeIs bound in shallows and in miseries.On such a full sea are we now afloat;And we must take the current when it serves,Or lose our ventures.” ― William Shakespeare , Julius Caesar

The tremendous pleasure that can come from readingShakespeare, for instance, was spoiled for generations of highschool students who were forced to go through Julius Caesar,As You Like It, or Hamlet, scene by scene, looking up all thestrange words in a glossary and studying all the scholarly footnotes. As a result, they never really read a Shakespearean play.

the idea of playing Shakespeare’splays as he wrote them, and not in the “modernised” versions of Cibber andGarrick, which once seemed to be the latest thing in theatrical progress.
Is she mistaken here? Wasn't it Garrick who rewrote/modernized Shakespeare and Cibber, his rival, who deplored him for it?
