Contents:

Introduction -- An earnest life -- An actor in charge : the (mis?)management of the Smock Alley Theatre, and the scandal of siddonolatory -- Education, rhetoric, and the rise and fall of empires and republics -- An actor for Ireland -- Conclusion.

Summary: This book considers the varied careers of controversial Irish adventurer Thomas Sheridan (1719-1788) in terms of a continuum of phonocentrist obsession. Variously employed as an actor-manager, elocutionist, lecturer and educational theorist, Sheridan believed that the key to Irish national renewal and European cultural revival was the cultivation of the spoken word. His stewardship of the Smock Alley Theater in Dublin was marked by considerable innovation along with bitter controversy. His lectures on oratory provoked admiration and ridicule in roughly equal measure, yet he would have a profou.
