1. Do you know anything about the actresses of the past mentioned by the characters of the novel?

Sarah Kemble, later known as Sarah Siddons, was born on July 5, 1775 at The Shoulder of Mutton Public House in Brecknockshire, Wales. Her parents led a group of traveling actors. The Kemble family became the progenitors of a family of actors. The critics called her phenomenal and she reigned supreme as the Queen of Drury Lane. Sarah had many roles that she became known for, the majority of them tragedies. The audience loved her and she would be forever known from that point on as the Queen of Tragedy.

George Bernard Shaw gallantly declared that 'every famous man of the 19th century- provided he were a playgoer- has been in love with Ellen Terry.' Ellen was born in 1847 in Coventry, Warwickshire, 'Shakespeare's own county' as she happily recalled in her 1908 memoirs. Adored by both the public and her colleagues alike Terry was a woman of great charm and generosity who also possessed a fiercely independent spirit allied to a resolute capacity for hard work. Ellen continued to act until 1925. She died on 21 July 1928 aged 81.

Do some research on one of the actresses and present it to the class.

3. Charles Tamerley took Julia to museums and galleries; he liked to impart information and she was glad to receive it. It was to him she owed it that she could speak about Proust, or Cezanne.

Valentin Louis Georges Eugène Marcel Proust, ( 10 July 1871 – 18 November 1922) was a French novelist, critic, and essayist best known for his monumental À la recherche du temps perdu (In Search of Lost Time).

Paul Cézanne (19 January 1839 – 22 October 1906) was a French artist and Post-Impressionist painter whose work laid the foundations of the transition from the 19th century conception of artistic endeavour to a new and radically different world of art in the 20th century.
