Book excerpt: Excerpt from Tragedy Queens of the Georgian Era HE famous Madam Barry, as she was generally called by her contemporaries, first appeared on the stage in the thirteenth year of the reign of Charles the Second, and she died three months before the first of our Georges ascended the throne; but she is included here because she dominated the stage for over thirty years, and by her manner and methods profoundly influenced succeeding tragic actresses; because she acted in most of the tragedies of Dryden, Otway, Lee, and Rowe; because She created (in many cases out of very poor dramatic material) over one hundred characters, several Of which, owing to the vogue which she imparted to them, held the stage to the end of the eighteenth century; and (what is even more to our present biographical purpose), because in her private life' she carried on the licentious tradition Of the Restoration, and was a Shining example for succeeding frail ones to allege in support of their apologetic contention that performers who represent evil passions on the stage can only succeed in proportion to their practical experience of such passions in real life.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Restoration represents an exhilarating period of English history. With Charles II, the ‘Merry Monarch’ restored to the throne, the country saw artistic and literary talent flourish. Charles was an enthusiastic patron of the theatre and helped breathe new life into British drama, reopening the playhouses after the gray years of closure under Puritanical rule. One of the most significant innovations in Restoration theatre was the introduction of actresses on the English stage. This exciting new history is dedicated to the life and times of two of the Restoration’s most celebrated actresses: Mrs Elizabeth Barry and Mrs Anne Bracegirdle. It details their family roots, the beginnings and progression of their London stage careers, their retirement from the limelight, and their eventual demise. Their lives and work are set against the lively and often dangerous atmosphere that epitomized seventeenth-century London and its theaters, and the places where Mrs Barry and Mrs Bracegirdle lived and worked alongside their fellow players, dramatists and others of their times. There are references to the actresses’ admirers and lovers within and without the world of theatre. Along with more favorable critical appraisals, there are explicit and derogatory lines, satirically written, regarding their supposed reputations. This insightful biography places Elizabeth and Anne back in the limelight, and includes transcriptions taken from contemporary works, letters, poems and wills, all adding depth and color to this fascinating subject.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book reinterprets British dramas of the early-nineteenth century through the lens of the star actors for whom they were written. Unlike most playwrights of previous generations, the writers of British Romantic dramas generally did not work in the theatre themselves. However, they closely followed the careers of star performers. Even when they did not directly know actors, they had what media theorists have dubbed "para-social interactions" with those stars, interacting with them through the mediation of mass communication, whether as audience members, newspaper and memoir readers, or consumers of prints, porcelain miniatures, and other manifestations of "fan" culture. This study takes an in-depth look at four pairs of performers and playwrights: Sarah Siddons and Joanna Baillie, Julia Glover and Samuel Taylor Coleridge, Edmund Kean and Lord Byron, and Eliza O'Neill and Percy Bysshe Shelley. These charismatic performers, knowingly or not, helped to guide the development of a character-based theatre—from the emotion-dominated plays made popular by Baillie to the pinnacle of Romantic drama under Shelley. They shepherded in a new style of writing that had verbal sophistication and engaged meaningfully with the moral issues of the day. They helped to create not just new modes of acting, but new ways of writing that could make use of their extraordinary talents.
