Description

Explore a fascinating piece of theatrical history with this Routledge Revival of John Philip Kemble's critical essay. As a successful and ambitious London stage actor, Kemble was famously recognized for his portrayal of Shakespeare's Macbeth. This work serves as his passionate response to Thomas Watley's 1785 publication, Remarks on Some of the Characters of Shakespeare. In this text, Kemble challenges Watley's interpretations of some of literature's most famous villains. By offering his nuanced criticisms of Macbeth and Richard III, Kemble provides a unique perspective on how these iconic characters were understood and performed during his era. This edition is a reprint of the second edition originally published in 1970, making it an accessible resource for students, actors, and scholars of Shakespearean drama and criticism. It offers a deep look into the debates that shaped theatrical characterization and historical performance styles.
