Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Impressions of Henry Irving: Gathered in Public and Private During a Friendship Ship of Many Years My friend, Walter Pollock, has asked me to write a few words of introduction to his Impressions of my father. But, in writing about Henry Irving, Mr. Pollock stands in no need of introduction. He was himself a very dear and valued friend of my father; his mother. Lady Pollock, was one of the first to encourage, by the warmth and sincerity of her admiration, the hopes and aspirations of the young actor, who in his earlier years was ever; a welcome guest at Sir Frederick Pollock's house. It was natural, therefore, that my father should be inclined to speak more unreservedly than was his habit, of his work, his art, to their son Walter; for he was always quick to respond where he believed he found sympathy, and a sincere appreciation of his aim and endeavour.

Book Synopsis Henry Irving's Waterloo by : W. D. King
Download or read book Henry Irving's Waterloo written by W. D. King and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2023-11-10 with total page 330 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this creative study of history and popular culture, W. D. King ingeniously illustrates how a long-forgotten instance in theatre history can reveal the very process of historical change itself. Late in the nineteenth century, Henry Irving, the leading actor-manager of the English stage, was scathingly attacked by George Bernard Shaw for his popular performance in Conan Doyle's play, A Story of Waterloo. Shaw's review was one of the first onslaughts in a war against the old guard of the English stage, against Victorianism, against England and Empire itself. King's depiction of this event and its aftermath illuminates the period's crucial values and cultural issues, and is presented in a manner that is both convincing and highly entertaining. This title is part of UC Press's Voices Revived program, which commemorates University of California Press’s mission to seek out and cultivate the brightest minds and give them voice, reach, and impact. Drawing on a backlist dating to 1893, Voices Revived makes high-quality, peer-reviewed scholarship accessible once again using print-on-demand technology. This title was originally published in 1993.
Book Synopsis Henry Irving and The Victorian Theatre by : Madeleine Bingham
Download or read book Henry Irving and The Victorian Theatre written by Madeleine Bingham and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-07-16 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally published in 1978. Henry Irving achieved an astounding success in Britain and America as an actor; yet he lacked good looks, had spindly legs, and did not have a good voice. He said so himself. Today Irving is regarded as the archetype of the old-time actor, but in his own time he was regarded as a great theatrical innovator. Even Bernard Shaw, who attacked him pitilessly, even unto death, called him ‘modern’ when he first saw him act. Irving, the man, with his tenacious, obsessive talent, his human limitations and weaknesses, and his ephemeral glory is brought most sympathetically to life in this biography. It is written from contemporary sources, and from criticisms, lampoons, caricatures and gossip columns. If Irving reflected certain aspects of his age, this book underlines the Victorian ethic to which he appealed and the backcloths against which it was set – the extraordinary lavishness of the Lyceum productions and the incredible extravagance of social entertaining. Not the least absorbing aspect of this biography is the fascinating account of the long partnership between Irving and Ellen Terry, still in many respects an enigmatic one, but here portrayed with lively insight into character combined with understanding and deep knowledge of the social and theatrical context of the Victorian age.

Download or read book Henry Irving written by Richard Foulkes and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-11-30 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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. As a director of spectacular, and commercially driven, entertainments, Irving anticipated Hollywood directors from D.W. Griffith to Stephen Spielberg. And as manager of the Lyceum Theatre, where audiences included the leading public figures of the day, he controlled every aspect of the performance. 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. Like Wagner, Irving was a proponent of a holistic approach to the stage, that is, blending together acting, painting, music, and architecture to create harmonious, balanced, and artistic theatre. Irving emerges not only as the peer of such eminent contemporaries as Tennyson, Sullivan, Shaw, and Burne-Jones, but also as a powerful influence on the twentieth-century theatre.
