Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Sixty Years of the Theater: An Old Critic´s Memories The writer of these reminiscences is fully conscious of their disorderly, discursive and imperfect form. When he began to jot them down for serial publication in The Evening Post, he did not foresee the possibility of their ultimate collection in a single volume, or he would have arranged them differently, with greater respect for convenient grouping and chronological sequence. This may help to explain, if not to excuse, many obvious shortcomings. These pages make no pretense of being a complete historical record even of the period with which they deal. If they have any value it is because they record the honest impressions and convictions of one who has been a lifelong lover and student of the theater - which ought to be one of the most beneficial, as it is certainly one of the most potent agencies at the disposal of civilization - and who has enjoyed exceptional facilities for seeing it at its best and worst, and noting its influences for good or evil. He can only hope that he has not altogether abused them. Many readers, doubtless, will disagree with some of his theories, conclusions, and critical estimates, and he is not silly enough to imagine that his judgments are infallible, but these, such as they are, are based upon experience and comparison, not upon personal prejudice or predilection.
