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. -
L'une Des Premières Opérettes À Grand Spectacle
Jean-Claude Gaudin Maire de Marseille Ancien Ministre Président de la Métropole Aix-Marseille-Provence Vice-président honoraire du Sénat © VDM Cinq ans après l’onde positive de Marseille Provence 2013, la culture se propage à nouveau intensément dans la cité phocéenne, sous la forme cette fois de « MP 2018 Quel amour ! » et de ses 450 événements répartis pendant sept mois sur tout le territoire métropolitain. S’il est cher aux Provençaux, ce thème de l’amour sied parfaitement à la mythique 3 scène de l’Odéon, plébiscitée par les Marseillais. Une institution de 95 ans qui a vu, notamment, Charles Trenet ou Jospéhine Baker faire vibrer ses planches. D’opérettes en pièces de théâtre, l’Odéon a ainsi acquis ses lettres de noblesse grâce à une programmation éclectique et de grande qualité. Cette saison ne dérogera pas à la règle avec des rendez-vous de choix pour un large public. Ainsi, les curieux pourront se plonger dans l’atmosphère marseillaise d’antan avec « Un de la Canebière » de Vincent Scotto, s’émouvoir grâce à des acteurs de grand talent comme Francis Huster, ou rire aux éclats avec Anne Roumanoff et Zize Dupanier, un personnage haut en couleur interprété par l’humoriste local Thierry Wilson. Ce programme particulièrement riche attirera, à n’en pas douter, des spectateurs toujours plus nombreux, contribuant à faire de Marseille une place forte de la culture en général et du spectacle vivant en particulier.

Queen of Hoxton Pro Sound News Europe Online FEBRU ARY 2011 - Shoreditch
Queen of Hoxton Pro Sound News Europe online FEBRUARY 2011 - Shoreditch On the whole, 2010 could be looked at as a pretty torrid time to be a self-contained music venue in the capital. The future remains uncertain to say the least for its legendary 100 Club; and at the back end of last year, The Luminaire shut its doors for the last time. But it’s not all doom and gloom, apparently. One venue that has kept London’s live music flag flying – well, at half mast, at least - is the Queen of Hoxton – which, actually, is located on Curtain Road in Shoreditch, and has been subject to a major audio overhaul. The venue opened two years ago, but things really started to take off in Summer 2010 when Roots Manuva was first to perform through the 200-capacity venue’s newly installed Funktion-One PA system. Since then, it has accommodated an array of popular bands and DJs including The Maccabees, Rob da Bank and Mat Horne; and a massive show from The Drums at the end of last year. “The response from artists about the new sound system has been phenomenal,” says the Queen’s Danny Payne, “Word has spread, and it’s been integral in attracting bigger acts to play at the venue.” The Funktion-One installation was undertaken by London headquartered Sound Services Ltd, and the main rig consists of a pair of Res 2s and a pair of F-218 subwoofers, along with FFA amplification and Funktion-One- badged XTA processing. Along with its state-of-the-art PA system, the venue now boasts a state-of-the-art Green Room as well, which is a dedicated area located at back-of-house with private dressing rooms and make-up facilities, an all important mini-bar, and a live video link to the main stage that can accommodate up to twenty people in privacy.. -

Between 1979 and 1993, Dr. Garber donated over 2,000 autograph letters, documents and books to the Department of Special Collections.

Many interesting items can be found in the collection, including letters from Elizabeth Barrett Browning and Robert Browning Thomas Hardy, Queen Victoria, Prince Albert, King George III, and Virginia Woolf.

Introduction 1 Sensation Fiction and the Emergence of the Victorian
Notes Introduction 1. Many of Reade’s works have recently been made available by Dodo Press, a subsidiary of the innovative new publisher The Book Depository in the UK. 2. The critic for the Dublin University Review stated that “the taste of the age has settled the point, that its [fiction’s] proper office is to elevate and purify” (qtd. in Page 50). The Athenaeum used the same phrase in its negative review of Collins’s Basil in which the critic writes, “the proper office of Art is to elevate and purify” (qtd. in Page 48). In his essay on Milton, Thomas Babington Macaulay praises the work of the poet for its ability “not only to delight but to elevate and purify” (28). 3. For an excellent discussion of Man and Wife, see Lisa Surridge, “Unspeakable Histories: Hester Dethridge and the Narration of Domestic Violence in Man and Wife” (Victorian Review 22.2, Winter 1996: 161–85). 4.

Bachman and Cox do not provide evidence to support their statement on Reade’s possible influence on Collins although Peters also makes a similar but qualified statement, “He has sometimes been implicated in the supposed decline of Wilkie Collins’s fiction; but it is too simple to suggest that Reade took over from Dickens as Wilkie’s mentor” (282).

To find the complete listing in the catalog, do a basic keyword search for “Plimpton collection of dramas”. Individual plays can be searched by title and author. The call number for the collection is PN6111.P5 © 2013 Amherst College Archives and Special Collections Page 1 Plimpton Collection of Dramas INTRODUCTION THE PLIMPTON COLLECTION OF PLAYS by Curtis Canfield Originally published in the Amherst Graduates’ Quarterly, May 1932 Mr. George A. Plimpton, ’76, recently presented to the college a large collection of material relating to the English and American theatre of the nineteenth century. More than 1200 plays are represented in the collection in addition to numerous playbills, programs, libretti, histories, and after-pieces, as well as an autographed photograph of Edwin Booth as Richelieu. The collection seems to have been a part of the extensive theatrical library of Mr. Edward Boltwood of Pittsfield, whose father was born in Amherst in 1839 and moved to Pittsfield in 1870. Mr. Boltwood, although an active member of the Berkshire bar, made the theatre his avocation and found time to write a number of small pieces for the stage, one of which is included in the present collection. He was also instrumental in establishing the William Parke Stock Company in Pittsfield, and continued his connection with this company by writing reviews of its plays. -
Public Spirit and Public Order. Edmund Burke and the Role of the Critic in Mid- Eighteenth-Century Britain
Public Spirit and Public Order. Edmund Burke and the Role of the Critic in Mid- Eighteenth-Century Britain Ian Crowe A dissertation submitted to the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of History. Chapel Hill 2008 Approved by: Advisor: Professor Jay M. Smith Reader: Professor Christopher Browning Reader: Professor Lloyd Kramer Reader: Professor Donald Reid Reader: Professor Thomas Reinert © 2008 Ian Crowe ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Ian Crowe: Public Spirit and Public Order. Edmund Burke and the Role of the Critic in Mid- Eighteenth-Century Britain (Under the direction of Dr. Jay M. Smith) This study centers upon Edmund Burke’s early literary career, and his move from Dublin to London in 1750, to explore the interplay of academic, professional, and commercial networks that comprised the mid-eighteenth-century Republic of Letters in Britain and Ireland. Burke’s experiences before his entry into politics, particularly his relationship with the bookseller Robert Dodsley, may be used both to illustrate the political and intellectual debates that infused those networks, and to deepen our understanding of the publisher-author relationship at that time. It is argued here that it was Burke’s involvement with Irish Patriot debates in his Dublin days, rather than any assumed Catholic or colonial resentment, that shaped his early publications, not least since Dodsley himself was engaged in a revision of Patriot literary discourse at his “Tully’s Head” business in the light of the legacy of his own patron Alexander Pope.
