Abstract:
This essay revisits the apparent opposition between theater and the novel as well as the public actress and private heroine to identify what I call “virtuous theatricality” in Frances Burney’s conception of authorship. This term celebrates her complex appreciation for, and appropriation of, the theater and role playing in her novels. Building on recent work about celebrity actresses by Laura Engel, Felicity Nussbaum, Gill Perry, and others, I argue that Burney’s construction of authorial identity recalls the professional actress’s skillful negotiation between her public and private personas.

Abstract:
This essay provides a new approach to reading actress memoirs in light of the influence of environmental thinking on Victorian culture more broadly and acting theory in particular. By demonstrating that actress autobiographies were written within a discursive domain that understood human temperaments and biographical trajectories to be fundamentally shaped by social and physical surroundings, I examine how renowned actresses narrate the conditions within which their temperament developed. In order to do so, I first examine the entanglement of environment and character in novels about actress p

Abstract:
Mostly known as one of the leading actresses in 1960s-1970s French cinema, Delphine Seyrig was also a media and a feminist activist working collaboratively within the framework of the women’s liberation movement. This article proposes to tackle Seyrig’s involvement in feminist video production the 1970s and explores the continuum she inhabited, from the auteur cinema in which she was actress and muse, to the disobedient practices in which she was video maker, actress and activist.

Abstract:
Bette Davis played the role of an aging actress in different films throughout her career. In Joseph Mankiewicz’s All about Eve (1950), Davis performs one of her most highly acclaimed parts as Margo Channing, a mature actress who must face the decline of her acting career upon the arrival of a younger and ambitious counterpart. Only two years later, in Stuart Heisler’s The Star (1952), Davis once more played the role of an aging actress, Margaret Elliot, who refuses to accept that her career as an actress has come to an end, thus taking a bleaker approach in comparison with Mankiewicz’s film.

In this article, I trace the origins of the normalization of pornographic tropes as the new sexual ideal in contemporary visual culture to late nineteenth- and early twentieth-century publicity photos of actresses and monarchs by examining one prominent transatlantic actress's collection of publicity photos, the Elizabeth Robins Papers at the Fales Library at New York University. As I show, around the turn of the twentieth century, a new standard of idealized feminine beauty was produced by the combination of two contradictory images of celebrity: the distant decorum of the monarch and the per

Abstract This essay interrogates how the scandalous actress Mary Wells “shadowed” Sarah Siddons through her imitations of the actress; using performance theory and contemporary reviews, it suggests that these imitations allowed Wells to borrow some of Siddons’ fame at the same time that they exposed the duplicity at the heart of the tragic queen’s performance. The contrast between the simultaneously shifting and transparent Wells and the static and opaque Siddons would have been striking to the audience, as Siddons’ aloof distance from her admirers left a path of access to Wells, who would gla

It asks to what extent artefacts in an archive might both create a new persona or freezeframe a particular construct of a performer.

Abstract:
ABSTRACT Candida would become a signature role for American actress Katharine Cornell, but her initial outing in the part in 1924 was unexpectedly marred by a scheduling snafu that resulted in her being replaced by another actress, Mary Margaret (Peggy) Wood. At that time, Wood had only appeared in musical comedies and was an unusual casting choice. The opportunity for the public to compare two very different characterizations occasioned a reexamination of Candida and of Candida that not only pondered which version by two modern actresses was closer to Shaw’s original conception but reframed t

Actresses epitomized the pluralism of the female gender, exposing the variable images of women in their performances, painted images and in literature narrating the histories of performing women. The classification of actresses as either virtuous or immoral was not unique to professional actors and was suffered by women of all classes. And yet, with the theatrical stage as a platform to either conform or challenge conventional gender constructions, actresses possessed exclusive access to the public where they could establish alternative images of femininity.

In Play It as It Lays by Joan Didion, we are presented with a character in the midst of a crisis of identity.

A reliance on drugs, a commodification of the self, and a deteriorating sense of who she is all play into her downward spiral. Yet when we examine the reason that Maria lacks an actualized sense of self, the reader is presented with a paradox.
