Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Annals of Covent Garden Theatre, 1906, Vol. 1 In the following pages the writer desires to set forth as exactly and simply as possible the history and fortunes of the illustrious Playhouse which has for one hundred and seventy years borne the name of the famous Market within whose precincts it stands. The monumental work of the Rev. John Genest has been largely drawn upon, and no claim of originality is made therefore for the matter of the book, while the author is sadly aware of its many deficiencies in style. But the subject is fascinating enough for the story to bear retelling, while the temptations to deviate from the path to be followed are so numerous that the entire volume might easily be filled with the anecdotes, at once historical and romantic, that surround the history of the site alone. All this must be passed over, or little could be written upon the magnificent triumphs, great even when compared with those of later days, that had it for their scene during the early years of its existence.
