The 1863 Melbourne Shakespeare War: Barry Sullivan, Charles and Ellen Kean, and the Play of Cultural Usurpation on the Australian Stage

This essay investigates an intricate drama of cultural identity in performances of Shakespeare on the nineteenth-century Melbourne stage. It considers the rivalry between Charles and Ellen Kean and their competitor, Barry Sullivan, for the two-month period in 1863 during which their Australian tours overlapped. This Melbourne Shakespeare war was anticipated,augmented, and richly documented in Melbourne’s papers: The Age, The Argus and Melbourne Punch. This essay pursues two seams of inquiry. The first is an investigation of the discourses of cultural and aesthetic value laced through the language of reviews of their Shakespearean roles.The essay identifies how reviewers register affective engagement with the performers in these roles, and suggests how the roles themselves reflected, by accident or design, the terms of the dispute. The second is concerned with the national identity of the actors. Kean, although born in Waterford, Ireland, had held the post of Queen Victoria’s Master of the Revels and identified himself as English. Sullivan, although born in Birmingham, was of Cork parentage and was identified as Irish by both his supporters and his detractors. This essay tracks the development of the actors’ national and artistic identities established prior to Melbourne and ask how they played out on in the context of the particularities of Australian reception. It shows that, in this instance, these actors were implicated in complex debates over national authority and cultural ownership.

El área considerada en el presente estudio es una pequeña porción costera del Pacífico Tropical Oriental, que se extiende entre las latitudes de 1°S-20°S y entre la costa y la longitud de 86°W. En la descripción empleamos el término de zona norte para referirnos a la parte situada al norte de los 6°S. Cuando decimos aguas oceánicas nos referimos a las aguas del océano abierto. Cuando hablamos de estaciones del año nos referimos a las estaciones del Hemisferio Sur. Las temperaturas promedio de la superficie del mar corresponden a observaciones realizadas en el período 1928-1969 (que viene a representar algo más de 4 décadas), y, por la densidad de las observaciones, son más representativas de las 4 estaciones del año pertenecen a: febrero, abril, setiembre y noviembre.
