About This Item
London: The Camden Society, 1840. First. A fair only copy in blindstamped green cloth, black cloth tape spine; cracked hinges; front free endpaper detached and torn, ex-library with markings and attachments
William Kempe (c 1560â€"c 1603), commonly referred to as Will Kemp, was an English actor and dancer specializing in comic roles and best known for having been one of the original players in early dramas by William Shakespeare Roles associated with his name may include the great comic creation, Falstaff, and his contemporaries considered him the successor to the great clown of the previous generation, Richard Tarlton
Kempe's success and influence was such that in December 1598, he was one of a core of five actor-shareholders in the Lord Chamberlain's Men alongside Shakespeare and Richard Burbage, but in a short time (possibly after a disagreement among the members of the troupe) he parted company with the group Despite his fame as a performer and subsequent intent to continue his career, he appears to have died unregarded and in poverty circa 1603
35 pp.
