Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Century of Great Actors, 1750-1850 It is not easy to write about actors. There is danger if they are alive and the risk of dullness if they are dead. Few things apparently interest the average person more than a real live actor, and few things bore them more than a dead one! This is partly because too much attention is generally paid to the personality of the actor, but principally because his reign, like a king's, ceases when he dies - sometimes before. But we can read the history of that reign, and can, to a certain extent, tell what manner of man the king was. Moreover, we are, some of us, that is to say, naturally interested in those who have tended the sacred lamp of the drama and kept it burning for some definite period of time. Actors do leave foot-prints on the sands of time. Tradition keeps their memory green, traditional pieces of business are sometimes remembered when their originator is forgotten. Sometimes both are remembered and always associated. Macklin and his Shy lock are a living force in the drama to-day.

Just as women look up to certain actresses as models in the art of costuming themselves, and copy or try to copy them in their own attire, so to a host of men Drew is a glass of fashion and a mould of form, though men do not set so much store by these things as women.

Download or read book Famous American Actors of To-Day, Vol. 1 written by Frederic Edward McKay and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-09 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Famous American Actors of to-Day, Vol. 1: Edited by Frederic Edward McKay and Charles E. L. Wingate This volume is not designed for the use of theatrical people alone. Inasmuch as the various chapters are written by authors who arc recognized as authorities upon the subjects coming under their pens, as well as writers experienced in pleasing the public, it is hoped that the book will fill a helpful corner in the biographical department of home libraries, while at the same time it acquaints general readers with the careers and methods of work of our American actors. Although the theatre has existed in this country for a century and a half, and in these later days has flourished wonderfully, the literature of the stage is meagre. Of histories there are none that cover the entire period; of biographical works there arc very few, and none that deal, after the manner of this volume, with any considerable number of contemporaneous actors.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The period between 1750 and 1850 was a time when knowledge and its modes of transmission were reconsidered and reworked in fundamental ways. Social and political transformations, such as the French Revolution and the Industrial Revolution, went hand in hand with in new ways of viewing, sensing, and experiencing what was perceived to be a rapidly changing world. This volume brings together a range of essays that explore the performance of knowledge in the period from 1750 to 1850, in the broadest possible sense. The essays explore a wide variety of literary, theatrical, and scientific events staged during this period, including scientific demonstrations, philosophical lectures, theatrical performances, stage design, botany primers, musical publications, staged Schiller memorials, acoustic performances, and literary declamations. These events served as vital conduits for the larger process of generating, differentiating, and circulating knowledge. By unpacking the significance of performance and performativity for the creation and circulation of knowledge in Germany during this period, the volume makes an important contribution to interdisciplinary German cultural studies, performance studies, and the history of knowledge.
Book Synopsis The Invention of Celebrity by : Antoine Lilti
Download or read book The Invention of Celebrity written by Antoine Lilti and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2017-09-05 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Frequently perceived as a characteristic of modern culture, the phenomenon of celebrity has much older roots. In this book Antoine Lilti shows that the mechanisms of celebrity were developed in Europe during the Enlightenment, well before films, yellow journalism, and television, and then flourished during the Romantic period on both sides of the Atlantic. Figures from across the arts like Voltaire, Garrick, and Liszt were all veritable celebrities in their time, arousing curiosity and passionate loyalty from their “fans.” The rise of the press, new advertising techniques, and the marketing of leisure brought a profound transformation in the visibility of celebrities: private lives were now very much on public show. Nor was politics spared this cultural upheaval: Marie-Antoinette, George Washington, and Napoleon all experienced a political world transformed by the new demands of celebrity. And when the people suddenly appeared on the revolutionary scene, it was no longer enough to be legitimate; it was crucial to be popular too. Lilti retraces the profound social upheaval precipitated by the rise of celebrity and explores the ambivalence felt toward this new phenomenon. Both sought after and denounced, celebrity evolved as the modern form of personal prestige, assuming the role that glory played in the aristocratic world in a new age of democracy and evolving forms of media. While uncovering the birth of celebrity in the eighteenth century, Lilti's perceptive history at the same time shines light on the continuing importance of this phenomenon in today’s world.
