Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Barry Sullivan and His Contemporaries, Vol. 1 of 2: A Histrionic Record Readers of theatrical biography must have, at one time or another, felt the need of an accurate and complete account of Barry Sullivan´s career; and as this has never hitherto been attempted, no apology is necessary for the present effort to supply that want. Barry Sullivan! - the name brings a thrill of pleasure to the old playgoer the world over; but to those of the younger generation to whom Barry Sullivan is but a name, in whose minds its mention does not call up the echo of his magnificent voice and the sight of his commanding presence, who have never witnessed any of his grand impersonations, or only when he was in the autumn of his career, to them his life-story cannot but attract with irresistible force; for, as a great writer has said, the search after great men is the dream of youth and the most serious occupation of manhood. I can only hope that I may succeed in imparting to my readers some at least of the pleasure which I derived from the study of the great actor´s life. Without attempting to conceal my own admiration for Barry Sullivan´s acting, I have not presumed to encumber these pages with any efforts at elaborate or analytical criticisms of my own. I let the best dramatic critics of his day speak on every important occasion, as thereby greater justice can be done to his merits. It is with unaffected diffidence that I present this memoir to the public. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
