Áirithint áit ar Charles Macklin and the theatres of LondonCharles Macklin (1699?-1797) was one of the most important figures in the 18th-century theatre. Born in Ireland, he began acting in London in around 1725 and gave his final performance in 1789 - no other actor can claim to have acted across 7 decades of the century, from the reign of George I to the Regency Crisis of 1788. He is credited alongside Garrick with the development of the natural school of acting and gave a famous performance of Shylock that gave George II nightmares. As a dramatist, he wrote one of the great comic pieces of the mid-century (Love à la Mode, 1759), as well as the only play of the century to be twice refused a performance licence (The Man of the World, 1781). He opened an experimental coffeehouse in Covent Garden, he advocated for actors' rights and copyright reform for dramatists, and he sued theatre rioters. This volume provides a sustained critical examination of his career.
