has abstract	George Alexander Stevens (1710 – 6 September 1780) was an English actor, playwright, poet, composer and songwriter. He was born in the parish of St. Andrews, in Holborn, a neighbourhood of London. After spending many years as a travelling actor, he performed for the theatre in Covent Garden (now the Royal Opera House). Stevens was most famous in his lifetime for his , a satirical "lecture" on heads and fashion, which parodied the popularity of physiognomy. The lecture was first performed in 1764, and became an immediate success; he went on to perform it on tour throughout Great Britain, in Ireland, and in the American colonies at Boston and Philadelphia. He was also known as popular songwriter, especially known for his bawdy drinking-songs and patriotic songs (such as Liberty-Hall and The Briton). Many of both kinds were collected in his Songs, comic and satyrical (1788). Stevens also authored several dramatic pieces for the stage, a novel entitled Tom Fool, and a satire, The Birthday of Folly. He used the pen-name "A Lady", for part of The Female Inquisition. He died in Baldock in Hertfordshire. (en) George Alexander Stevens, född 1710 i i London, död den 6 september 1780, var en brittisk skådespelare, skådespelsförfattare, poet och visdiktare. Efter många år som kringresande skådespelare uppträdde han på teatern i Covent Garden, numera Royal Opera House. George Alexander Stevens var mest berömd under sin livstid för sin Lecture on Heads, en satirisk "föreläsningsföreställning" om huvuden och mode, vilken parodierade fysiognomikens popularitet. Föreläsningen gavs den första gången 1764 och blev en omedelbar succé. Han fortsatte att framföra denna performance på turnéer i Britannien, på Irland och i Storbritanniens kolonier i Boston och Philadelphia. Han var också känd som en populär visdiktare, särskilt uppskattad för sina frivola dryckesvisor, och patriotiska sånger (som "Liberty-Hall" och "The Briton"). Många av sångerna finns i samlingen Songs, comic and satyrical från 1788. Stevens skrev också dramatiska stycken för scenen, romanen Tom Fool och satiren The Birthday of Folly. (sv)
