Endnotes

1. The first genre is diary entry from one of our main characters, Leonard Wilk. In it,
we see a side of Wilk that is unseen to audience and fans. It shows his worries of
judgment because of his class. This was based off of the real life figure, Edmund
Kean, who much like Leonard, had a past that would have prevented him from
being successful in his career. From the Encyclopdia Britannica, I found
information on the life of Edmund Kean that further influenced Leonard Wilk
being the underdog in the Victorian Age.

2. The second genre is a play advertisement promoting Oscar Wildes play,

Something Politically Romantic. This was a typical looking advertisement that
could be found in the Victorian Age. I wanted something that would look both
appealing to viewers and accurate. I used the website, PosterMyWall, to find a
template which I could dictate to look more believable to what would be seen in
the Victorian Era.

3. In relation to the play advertisement, the third genre is a review of the Wildes
play. Here, I looked at multiple reviews including ones for Anna Karenina that were
modern and applied that as a template for my review. I also decided to summarize
much of the play as I did not present readers an actual play to read. For the plot of
the play much of my research was derived from the journal, Victorian Drama. This
way, readers were able to find relations within the play and the characters reality.
To make the review as accurate as possible of my research I used the resource
center, Theatre in the Victorian Age, and added terminology in the review that
would have been used in the Victorian Era.

4. The short dialogue between Leonard Wilk and John Holly serve as the fourth
genre and allow readers insight into a real-time conversation. Here, much of the
personality of all three main characters in the project can be witnessed through
the conversation they have. I used multiple websites that talked about actors in
the Victorian Age to come with character profiles. These included Victorian
Theatre: Dramatists, Performers, and Impresarios from the Victorian Web and
Victorian Era Actors from the website Victorian-Era.

5. The final genre is the eulogy written for Leonard Wilk by John Holly. This was an
interesting piece to write as it was a eulogy written for someone by his killer. This
was a genre that mostly came from inspiration of entire section on the website
dedicated to Victorian Theatre by the Victoria and Albert Museum. On this site, I
was able to come with story lines that would have happened between John
Phillip, a prominent actor in real life and Leonard Wilk.
