- This book, the result of twenty years’ research, employs multiple critical perspectives and hundreds of primary sources – scores, portraits, engravings, pamphlets, wordbooks, prompt books, press reports, public records – to reshape our understanding of the Georgian stage. Kitty Clive, a star of both oratorio and ballad opera, and the first player to reach top rank through song, deftly co-authored her persona in performance and in print. Joncus breaks new ground by showing how the 18th-century player could participate in forging her public self, and analyses the star vehicle as a work co-authored by performers, writers, and audiences.
