Summary by Brian Jeffiers
The author examines how characters
are portrayed in several romantic
plays. Comparisons are made to Shakespearian
and Fletcherian ideals and standards.
The book goes on to explore how each
of these factors has evolved over
the years and led to the various
portrayals of characters over the
years. Considerable emphasis is
given to the efforts of individual
actors and their interpretations
of characters from dramas of the
romantic era.
