Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Actor, or a Peep Behind the Curtain: Being Passages in the Lives of Booth and Some of His Contemporaries The Author of the following pages, several years since, contemplated the production of a Biography of Junius Brutus Booth, and with that end in view, wrote several chapters, which, with material alterations, are embraced in the present volume. Subsequent events, however, induced him to modify the character of the work, having in the meantime become possessed of many facts and incidents relative to the Drama and those connected with it, which he believed would prove interesting to the public. Rather than re-write what he had already written, he retained Mr. Booth as his hero, and blended such other information with his subject, as could be gleaned from the materials at his command. The larger portion of the work has been produced at night, after a more laborious occupation during the day. Conscious of its numerous faults, the author is still persuaded that it will be found not without interest, and by the advice of others, in whose judgment he has more confidence than his own, he is induced to submit it, "with all its imperfections," to the public.
