Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Glimpses of Real Life as Seen in the Theatrical World and in Bohemia: Being the Confessions of Peter Paterson, a Strolling Comedian In bygone times - in the days of Garrick, for instance, and even later - it was the strict rule to have a prologue to every play, and a preface to every book; but this practice is not now observed, especially in reference to plays - scarcely any of modern production having the old-fashioned prologue and epilogue. To books, however, it is still the custom to affix a preface, which, after all, is, in most instances, mere words; and these, if not full of sound and fury, usually signify nothing, or, at least, very, very little: but a prologue to the adventures and confessions of so interesting a vagabond as a strolling player and Bohemian must not be allowed to degenerate into anything so commonplace. What the Editor has principally to do in reference to the reader in this preface is, to warn him not to expect anything particularly exciting in the following true, if rather literal, narrative. The old days of romantic adventure, and of wonderful incident "by flood and field," so far as they relate to "the diverting varlets who act profane and immoral stage plays," have long passed away.
