John McCullough (1832-1885) was one of the dominant
actors in the mid-nineteenth century American
theatre. This study of his career provides evidence
of the progression of his style as an actor, from
the heroic style of Edwin Forrest to a more
authentic and scientific approach championed by
Francois Delsarte and Steele MacKaye. Though other
actors moved into the realm of "realistic"
performance on the stage, none were as popular as
John McCullough. His transition from a bombastic
acting style to a more realistic one pre-dates
Stanislavsky and The Group. He was a star of his
age and considered second only to Edwin Booth. This
book examines his life, work, and success on the
stage.
