What Has Changed in the Last Century
Collier's 1921 note on Edmond Malone still stands in outline, and his reputation has if anything risen: the Malone Society, founded in 1906 to print early English playbooks, carries his name, and his dating of Shakespeare's plays and his 1796 demolition of William Henry Ireland's Shakespeare forgeries are still cited, while the Boswell edition of 1821 is known to scholars as the Third Variorum. The village of Malone in Franklin County has fared less well than the entry's rising figures suggest. Its population, 7,556 in 1920, has since drifted back below 6,000, the flour, woolen and paper mills and the railroad shops are gone along with passenger rail service, and the largest employers in the area are now state prisons, including the Franklin and Bare Hill correctional facilities. Alice Hyde survives as Alice Hyde Medical Center, part of a regional hospital network.
