Time and the visual sense were two essential preoccupations of the
Victorians, and both were central to their presentations of
Shakespeare's plays. In this extensive new study, Stuart Sillars
examines multiple facets of this complex relationship. The desire
for authenticity in production, in the work of Charles Kean and his
followers, leads to elaborate sets that define and direct the
performances' movement through time. Visual artists of all kinds
fracture and extend the plays' movements, the Pre-Raphaelites
through new techniques and approaches, illustrators through new
forms of engraving and printing, and photographers through the
emerging forms of the medium. The book also considers the multiple
forms in which performances were recorded and re-created visually,
and absorbed into the memories of their viewers. With many
previously unpublished images, it draws together multiple fields to
offer a new perspective on one of the most productive and various
periods of Shakespeare activity.
