He pays particular attention to one Edmund Kean, a Shakespearian actor known for his incredible acting, short stature, tumultuous personal life, and controversial divorce. So sit back, relax and enjoy a history class to help you pass time this quarantine. His latest book, Dead Famous: An Unexpected History of Celebrity from Bronze Age to Silver Screen, is available to buy.
