Resumo: The Irish playwright Dion Boucicault (1820-1890) spent most of his career in the United States, where he established himself, adapting crucial moments of Irish history to the stage. Robert Emmet (1884), a play produced at the end of his career, arouses questioning surrounding its authorship. The dramatic text was arguably written by the playwright Frank Marshall (1840-1889) at the request of the actor Henry Irving (1838-1905). This paper explores the question of Robert Emmet’s authorship and investigates the reception of the production in its unsuccessful opening season at the McVicker’s Theatre in Chicago in November, 1884, and Boucicault’s part in it.

Robert Emmet (1884), peça produzida no final de sua carreira, suscita questionamentos em torno de sua autoria. O texto dramático foi discutivelmente escrito pelo dramaturgo Frank Marshall (1840-1889) a pedido do ator Henry Irving (1838-1905). Este artigo explora a questão da autoria de Robert Emmet e investiga a recepção da produção em sua malsucedida temporada de abertura no McVicker's Theatre em Chicago em novembro de 1884 e a participação de Boucicault na peça.UFSC2020-05-25info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/desterro/article/view/2175-8026.2020v73n2p12710.5007/2175-8026.2020v73n2p127Ilha do Desterro A Journal of English Language, Literatures in English and Cultural Studies; Vol. 73 No. 2 (2020): The Irish Theatrical Diaspora; 127-136Ilha do Desterro A Journal of English Language, Literatures in English and Cultural Studies; v. 73 n. 2 (2020): The Irish Theatrical Diaspora; 127-1362175-80260101-4846reponame:Ilha do Desterroinstname:Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (UFSC)instacron:UFSCenghttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/desterro/article/view/2175-8026.2020v73n2p127/43358Copyright (c) 2020 Fernanda Korovsky Mourainfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessMoura, Fernanda Korovsky2020-05-25T14:33:32Zoai:periodicos.ufsc.br:article/67075Revistahttp://www.periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/desterroPUBhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/desterro/oaiilha@cce.ufsc.br||corseuil@cce.ufsc.br||ilhadodesterro@gmail.com2175-80260101-4846opendoar:2020-05-25T14:33:32Ilha do Desterro - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (UFSC)false
