Sir Henry Irving rose to acclaim in the late 19th Century. The first Knight actor, his influence on Victorian society, and, in particular the theatre and popular arts caused Gladstone to think of him as his greatest contemporary. His death in 1905 saw societal mourning on a grand scale and his burial in Westminster Abbey shows the esteem in which he was held.
