Author: Irving, Sir Henry >>
Address: 15A, Grafton Street
Recipient: Martin, Sir Theodore >>
Address:
Date: 1879, July, 7 
Document Type: Letter
Content Summary: Thanks for showing Irving the interesting letter [from Geraldine. E. Jewsbury]. Her criticism of Mrs Martin [Helen Faucit] is true and just. If Kean's interpretation of Shakespeare was like reading him by flashes of lightning, Mrs Martin's is by the broad light of the sun. A more truthful and exquisite conception of Rosalind never entered the imagination of man. Fletcher's account of Mrs Martin's Lady Macbeth was confirmed to him by the one scene.
Published: T. Martin. Helen Faucit, W. Blackwood, 1900, p.359.
Notes: Irving and Helen Faucit gave a reading of 'Romeo and Juliet' and 'As You Like It' on 03/07/1879. After the reading was finished Helen Faucit added Lady Macbeth's sleep-walking scene. Geraldine Jewsbury's favourable letter about Irving's reading is also reproduced on p.358-59.
