Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Hours With the Players The critic is never a very popular person; still, even the critic has his uses. The critic of the theatre may be viewed as its chronicler, or as the contributor of materials to a future history of the stage. Hazlitt held that "some record" of the actors was "due to the world;" while he noted that "the player´s art is one that perishes with him, leaving no trace of itself but in the faint descriptions of the pen or pencil." The lives of the players cannot be related without constant reference to contemporary reviews of their performances. A playgoer from my infancy - from that early period of life when one does not go to the theatre exactly: one is taken there, to view with childish, wide-open eyes, until sleepiness or weariness comes to half-close them, the achievements of the actors - I had learnt to interest myself in the stage and its professors long before the responsibilities of systematic theatrical criticism developed upon me. The volume I now submit to the public contains a select number of the theatrical reviews I have contributed during the last fifteen years, now to The Pall Mall Gazette and now to The World newspaper.
