Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Short History of the English Stage: From Its Beginnings to the Summer of the Year 1908 In the following pages an attempt has been made to give, within a reasonable compass, a connected history of the development of the English theatre from the days of Miracle Plays to the present time. This is, of course, necessarily involved with the history of the English drama; but I have as far as possible dealt with the drama only as incidental to my subject, which is the history of English theatres and English acting. The compiler of such a book must of necessity be under heavy obligations to previous workers in the same field. I acknowledge gratefully my large indebtedness to Genest, Doran, Fleay, Fitzgerald, Barton Baker, and the numerous authors of monographs on individual theatres or actors. For much of the matter contained in my opening chapter I am indebted to A. W. Pollard´s valuable introduction to his edition of English Miracle Plays. In dealing with so large a subject in a comparatively small space, it is obviously impossible to be exhaustive. I have omitted mention of obscure and extinct theatres whose history has no special bearing on that of the stage, and similar considerations will explain why Grand Opera and the Variety Theatres have seemed to me to be outside the scope of the present volume.
