Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Selections From Comedies and Speeches: Also Verses to the Memory of Garrick and Anecdotes and Witty Sayings Richard Brinsley Sheridan may indeed be called the Admirable Crichton of his day. There were few things he could not do in the line of brain work, and most of these he did superlatively well. He was wit, orator, poet and dramatist. Byron has said of him: Whatever Sheridan has done or chosen to do has been par excellence, always the best of its kind. He has written the best comedy, ´The School for Scandal;´ the best opera, ´The Duenna´ (in my mind far before that St. Giles´s lampoon, ´The Beggars´ Opera´); the best farce, ´The Critic´ - It is only too good for a farce - and the best address, the ´Monologue on Garrick;´ and to crown all, delivered the very best oration, the famous ´Begum Speech´ ever conceived or heard in this country." In Sheridan´s writings every sentence is rounded and polished to a degree. Quick and clever as he was, however, he was a hard worker, and devoted infinite pains and much time to the products of his brain. This has been the case with the vast majority of great geniuses.
