Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The White Pilgrim, and Other Poems I think that I owe it to him in return to say that the willingness with which he trusted a favourite fancy to my care deserved a better return than a stage spoiling. From any literary view, things on the stage have certainly changed. Authors might put their best literary qualities, in all their differing degrees, into a School for Scandal, She Stoops to Conquer, Money, or London Assurance - which can always be revived, for old favourites are sacred in England. But nowadays they had better keep them out of plays, and use them elsewhere. There will always be room for one man, with the intellect and tact of Irving, to keep alive the immortal Shakesperean legend by adapting it to the peculiarities of the day, but - I fear that the rest is silence. Lord Ellenborough is reported once to have said, as a warning to barristers, "There are callings, in which to be suspected of literature is dangerous." I am afraid that the calling of the dramatist is one of them. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
