Le Paradoxe de la comédienne : Peg Woffington selon Charles Reade
View through CrossRef
In 1852, in his play Masks and Faces, or Before and Behind the Curtain and his novel Peg Woffington, Charles Reade chose as his heroine the British actress Margaret Woffington (1714-1760), whom he showed on stage but especially off stage. The interest of these two works lies in the blurring of borders between appearances and reality. At the climactic point of the plot, the actress, a professional deceiver, pretends to be a painted portrait. This episode summarizes Reade’s approach : is a living art like theatre to be compared with those « dead » or lifeless arts, painting and sculpture ?
