Book Synopsis Tragedy Queens of the Georgian Era (Classic Reprint) by : John Fyvie

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Tragedy Queens of the Georgian Era HE famous Madam Barry, as she was generally called by her contemporaries, first appeared on the stage in the thirteenth year of the reign of Charles the Second, and she died three months before the first of our Georges ascended the throne; but she is included here because she dominated the stage for over thirty years, and by her manner and methods profoundly influenced succeeding tragic actresses; because she acted in most of the tragedies of Dryden, Otway, Lee, and Rowe; because She created (in many cases out of very poor dramatic material) over one hundred characters, several Of which, owing to the vogue which she imparted to them, held the stage to the end of the eighteenth century; and (what is even more to our present biographical purpose), because in her private life' she carried on the licentious tradition Of the Restoration, and was a Shining example for succeeding frail ones to allege in support of their apologetic contention that performers who represent evil passions on the stage can only succeed in proportion to their practical experience of such passions in real life.
