Dramatic Character in the English Romantic Age
Dramatic Character in the English Romantic Age
By:Joseph W. Donohue Jr.

This was the age of the star.
For the first time in the history of the theater, the playwright took second place to the actor; the interpretation of the role assumed primary importance in a assessing a performance.
It was Mr.
Kean's Hamlet first, and Mr.
Shakespeare's second.
What effects did this highly subjective, interpretive emphasis have on the drama? Where did it originate and how did it evolve? These questions are considered at length in the author's analysis of the nature of Romanticism itself as revealed in essays, novels, criticism, and by the actors themselves.
The Jacobean origins of this revolutionary period are reviewed, followed by a close scrutiny of the critical writing of such contemporary thinkers as Hazlitt, Coleridge, Shelley, and Keats.
This entirely new concept provides an important link between the practical theater and the contemporary philosophical thought of the time.
