- This TaPRA prize-winning study explores the representation and critique of late-Georgian and Regency comic acting in the visual arts, while also investigating the impact of the visual arts on critical discourses around comic performance. It ranges across caricature and the use of nature and observation in art and acting, the comic actor’s use of painterly techniques and the artist’s portrayal of the actor’s personae. Drawing on extensive original research, the book gives prominence to previously forgotten actors from the period and develops an innovative methodology for analysing the relationship between comic performance and visual culture.
