Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from William Charles Macready The chief authority for a Life of Macready is, of course, his Reminiscences, Diaries, and Letters, edited by Sir Frederick Pollock. His Reminiscences, unfortunately, come to an abrupt end at the close of the year 1826. Up to that point, my main task has been to check his statements (which I find surprisingly accurate, even where he had only childish memories to draw upon), and to supplement them by extracts from contemporary documents. From 1826 onwards - that is to say, during the last twenty-five years of Macready´s life as an actor - the Diary affords only fragmentary information. It is valuable rather as an expression of character than as a record of events. In the following pages, then, the story of Macready´s whole career is told for the first time, with, I hope, reasonable fulness and accuracy. My guiding principle has been to avoid vague and second-hand statements, and, as far as possible, to give precise information founded on first-hand evidence.
