Henry Irving (1838-1905), the first actor to be knighted, dominated
the theatre in Britain and beyond for over a quarter of a century.
As an actor, he was strikingly different with his idiosyncratic
pronunciation, his somewhat ungainly physique, and his brilliant
psychological portrayals of virtue and villainy. He was also the
director of spectacular, and commercially driven, entertainments
and as the manager of the Lyceum theatre, he controlled every
aspect of the performance. First published in 2008, this collection
of essays by leading theatre scholars explores each element of
Irving's art: his acting, his contribution to the plays he
commissioned, his flair for the stage picture, and his ear for
incidental music. This book will be of interest to those studying
the history of theatre.
