"According to several sources,[5][6] Robertson originally fashioned the story as a novel, David Garrick: A Love Story, which was first printed in 1864 as a serial in the magazine The Young Englishwoman.[7] However, in the 1865 printing in book form, Robertson says in his preface that it was the other way around, and his novel was adapted from his play."
