Críticas:
'Jeffrey Richards' wide-ranging biography - published last year to mark the centenary of the actor's death - is a compulsively readable account of Irving's career and cultural milieu' The British Theatre Guide--Sanford Lakoff '[a] rich, absorbing book...the book is well observed. It is an ideal Irving vade mecum, packed with information about the half-forgotten critics, play-wrights, composers and artists who formed part of the Lyceum world for 30 years...breaks fresh ground with his view of Irving as moral crusader and Victorian superman.' --Sanford Lakoff "Times Higher Education Supplement " "As Jeffrey Richards makes clear in this detailed and involving account, Irving lived a distinguished life in extraordinary times...this is an entertaining and thoughtful biography...(which) shows the man to be much more than his roles on stage."--Sanford Lakoff "Church Times "
Reseña del editor:
Sir Henry Irving was the greatest actor of Victorian age and was thought of by Gladstone as his greatest contemporary. He transformed the theatre, in Britain and America, from a disreputable and marginal entertainment into being a respected, civilising and uplifting art form. His enthusiastic supporters, eager to see his every appearance, ranged from Queen Victoria to working men and housewives. At the Lyceum Theatre from 1878 to 1902 he set new standards both in acting, often partnered by Ellen Terry, and in production. In 1895 he became the first actor to receive a knighthood. His tours to America brought a revolution in acting practice to the New World. In Sir Henry Irving: An Actor and his World, published to mark the centenary of Irving's death, Jeffery Richards gives an account not only of Irving himself and of his career, but also of his whole impact on the Victorian Theatre and on Victorian life as a whole.
