Colley Cibber Livres
Colley Cibber fut un éminent acteur-manager et dramaturge anglais dont la voix distinctive a résonné dans le théâtre du début du XVIIIe siècle. Ses mémoires, rédigées dans un style personnel et anecdotique, offrent un récit vivant, bien que parfois digressif, de sa vie et de son époque. Si ses adaptations d'œuvres existantes ont suscité des critiques pour la "mutilation" perçue d'œuvres classiques, l'importance durable de Cibber réside dans son rôle de pionnier en tant qu'acteur-manager et dans la valeur historique de son autobiographie comme fenêtre sur les goûts et les idéologies en évolution de la période. Il excellait dans les rôles comiques, bien que ses entreprises théâtrales et sa personnalité aient souvent suscité la controverse parmi ses contemporains.
