Edmund Kean is associated first and foremost with short stature, tumultuous personal life, and controversial divorce. Cinema keeps its people visible long after the industry that produced them has changed shape.
Working from the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland shaped what was possible - the audiences within reach, the institutions that would have him, the language the work first appeared in.
Death came in 1833, at 46. By then the contribution had passed into the settled record.
