ABSTRACT A theatrical portrait is an image of an actor or actors in character. This genre was widespread in eighteenth century London and was practised by a large number of painters and engravers of all levels of ability. The sources of the genre lay in a number of diverse styles of art, including the court portraits of Lely and Kneller and the fetes galantes of Watteau and Mercier. Three types of media for theatrical portraits were particularly prevalent in London, between ca745 and 1800 : painting, print and book illustration.

The ancient religious dramas were distinguished by the names Origin of the Stage. of mysteries, properly so called, wherein were exhibited some of the events of Scripture story, and miracles which were of the nature of tragedy, representing the acts of Martyrdom of a Saint of the Church. One of the oldest religious dramas was written by Gregory, entitled Christ's Passion, the prologue to which states that the Virgin Mary was then for the first time brought upon the stage.

  • Confessions of William-Henry Ireland
    THE CONFESSIONS OF WILLIAM-HENRY IRELAND1 CONTAINING THE PARTICULARS OF HIS FABRICATION OF THE Shakspeare Manuscripts; TOGETHER WITH ANECDOTES AND OPINIONS (Hitherto unpublished) OF MANY DISTINGUISHED PERSONS IN THE Literary, Political, and Theatrical World. “THE WHOLE TRUTH, AND NOTHIKG BUT THE TRUTH.” LONDON, PRINTED BY ELLERTON AND BYWORTH, JOHNSON‟s COURT, FLEET STREET, FOR THOMAS GODDARD, CORNER OF PALL MALL AND THE HAYMARKET. 1805. (Price, 7s. 6d. in Boards.} PREFACE. IN the year 1796 I gave to the world a concise pamphlet, in which I avowed my- self the fabricator of the manuscripts at- tributed by me to Shakspeare. The papers themselves, and the cir- cumstances attending their production, had so highly excited the public curio- sity that the whole edition was disposed of in a few hours: and so great has since been the eagerness to procure a copy, that, though originally published at one shilling, a single impression has been sold, in a public auction-room, at the extrava- gant price of a guinea. This fact was known to many of my friends, who in consequence have often expressed surprise that I did not repub- lish the pamphlet, and have frequently importuned me to do so: but the revival of the subject, I conceived, might rather tend to injure than benefit me as a li- terary character: besides, I had already suffered much from the agitation of the question, and had reason to wish it might for ever rest in peace. The consideration, however, that I do but injure my own re- putation by silently bearing a more than merited portion of obloquy has at length incited me to give a narrative of the facts in the order in which they occurred, and a simple relation of the motives as they arose and operated on my conduct, that the world may be enabled to judge be- tween my contemners and me, and that my character may be freed from the stig- mas with which it has so undeservedly been sullied.

Determined to be re- venged, and profiting by the moment when his rival, in uttering soft nonsense, had inadvertently placed his foot upon a cloud, the machinist gave a whistle, which was the signal for raising the cloud. When the curtain was drawn up the audience were not a little edified at seeing the banker, with powdered head, and gorgeously attired in evening costume, embroidered coat and waistcoat, ascending to the clouds by the side of Minerva, represented by the object of his devotion.

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106-1346 Abstract This thesis examines three interwoven strands in the dramatic and editorial history of King Lear between 1681 and 1838. One strand is the history of the adaptations which held the London stage during these years; the second is the changing styles of acting over the same period; the third is the work of the editors as they attempted to establish the Shakespearean text. This triple focus enables me to explore the paradoxical dominance of the adaptations at a time which saw both the text being edited for the first time and the rise of bardolatry. The three aspects of the fortunes ofKing Lear are linked in a number of ways, and I trace these connections as the editors, adaptors and actors concentrated on their own separate concerns.
