Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Romance of the English Stage, Vol. 1 of 2 There are several collections in which the lives of the English actors and actresses have been set out. Of these the most important are Galt´s ´Lives of the Players,´ in which the substance, without the form, of the various theatrical autobiographies has been given, mingled, however, with much that is apocryphal; and the more recent ´History of the English Stage,´ by Dr. Doran, which is brought down almost to our own day. Nothing, however, hitherto published has professed to place before the public what may be considered the most interesting and characteristic feature of theatrical memoirs. Their chief attraction is found to be the air of personal confession, and simplicity of the revelations furnished - the naivete, the humour, and almost garrulous confidence; above all, the quaint turn of expression in which everything is unfolded.
