Excerpt from King Lear at the Lyceum: Produced November 10, 1892; Some Extracts From the Press on the Performance of Mr. Henry Irving and Miss. Ellen Terry Veteran actor, who has for some years a retired from the practice of his profession, is understood to have said that hereafter "King Lear" will always be played as Henry Irving plays it. The great speeches of Lear as delivered with electrical power and majesty by the older actors are entitled to live in memory, and no one need be ashamed of having been greatly stirred by them. The foolish enjoyment of a wild and arbitrary plot, and the permissible and not discreditable enjoyment of the sonorous and impassioned and majestic delivery of the great speeches of the part, are distinctly lost enjoyments as soon as the new Irving tradition comes into vogue. More than once I have said in writing on Irving that the most distinctive symptom or mark of his special genius is that he often plays a scene - so to speak - more in reference to other scenes than in reference to itself. This is very rare. Not only is it not always found in the most effective acting, but it is often the very antithesis, or seems so, of effective acting. The practical rule, though unformulated, of effective acting is to make the most of each scene. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Few life occurrences shaped individual and collective identities within Victorian-era society as critically as witnessing or suffering from illness. The prevalence of illness narratives within late nineteenth-century popular culture was made manifest on the period’s British and American stages, where theatrical embodiments of illness were indisputable staples of actors’ repertoires. Playing Sick: Performances of Illness in the Age of Victorian Medicine reconstructs how actors embodied three of the era’s most provocative illnesses: tuberculosis, drug addiction, and mental illness. In placing performances of illness within wider medicocultural contexts, Meredith Conti analyzes how such depictions confirmed or resisted salient constructions of diseases and the diseased. Conti’s case studies, which range from Eleonora Duse’s portrayal of the consumptive courtesan Marguerite Gautier to Henry Irving’s performance of senile dementia in King Lear, help to illuminate the interdependence of medical science and theatre in constructing nineteenth-century illness narratives. Through reconstructing these performances, Conti isolates from the period’s acting practices a lexicon of embodied illness: a flexible set of physical and vocal techniques that performers employed to theatricalize the sick body. In an age when medical science encouraged a gradual decentering of the patient from their own diagnosis and treatment, late nineteenth-century performances of illness symbolically restored the sick to positions of visibility and consequence.
