John Rich (1692-1761) was a profoundly influential figure of the
eighteenth-century London stage. As producer, manager, and
performer, he transformed the urban entertainment market, creating
genres and promotional methods still with us today. This volume
gives the first comprehensive overview of Rich's multifaceted
career, appreciation of which has suffered from his performing
identity as Lun, London's most celebrated Harlequin. Far from the
lightweight buffoon that this stereotype has suggested, Rich-the
first producer of The Beggar's Opera, the founder of Covent Garden,
the dauntless backer of Handel, and the promoter of the principal
dancers from the Parisian opera-is revealed as an agent of changes
much more enduring than those of his younger contemporary, David
Garrick. Contributions by leading scholars from a range of
disciplines-theatre, dance, music, art, and cultural
history-provide detailed analyses of Rich's productions and
representations. These findings complement Robert D. Hume's lead
article, a study that radically alters our perception of Rich.
