An Examination of the Acting Career of Edmund Kean

The characterizations of Kean mirrored the deprivation which he suffered as a child, as well as his wild and volcanic nature.

This thesis concludes that each of these two aspects of this genius of the English stage exerted a profound influence upon the other.
