Annotation:
	Describes how nineteenth-century Romanian actor Aristizza Romanescu drew on Ernesto Rossi's acting style, using broad physical gestures and pantomime, and Ellen Terry's interpretations, bringing intensity and composure to the roles, in order to depict strong and memorable female leads such as Ophelia and Juliet. Suggests Romanescu was actively involved in choosing and modifying the texts for performance. English and French summaries, online.
