Description: | The University of Kent Special Collections holds two significant collections of material about the playwright and actor Dionysius Lardner Boucicault (1820-1890), better known as Dion Boucicault.
The Fawkes Boucicault Collection contains material gathered by Richard Fawkes for his book, 'Dion Boucicault: a Biography' (1979).
This collection of around 750 items was used to underpin the richness of detail and concern for accuracy demonstrated in the biography. Of particular value to the researcher are the meticulously arranged research notes which bring together much other relevant material in photocopy and transcribed form, generally arranged in careful date order.
The playbills, programmes, photographs and associated contemporary materials greatly supplement the Victorian and Edwardian Theatre collections at the University of Kent. |
