Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Life and Dramatic Works of Robert Montgomery Bird It is a matter of surprise that Robert Montgomery Bird has hitherto escaped the biographer. Excepting the brief mention in textbooks and encyclopedias, virtually nothing has been written of a man whose name was once well known to the reading public of both America and England. Cast into cacophonous German, one of his novels found its way to the continent and ran through successive editions. It is, of course, futile to deprecate the verdicts of time as it is unsafe to predict them. It is rather the purpose of this book to set forth the claims of Dr. Bird, such as they are, to rank among American men of letters; and incidentally to explore a character of great charm that made him loved of all that knew him. In consequence of the total lack of Bird Biography and criticism, the present writer has had to depend solely on first-hand sources. He was fortunate, through the kindness of Dr. Bird´s relatives, in having at his disposal all the extant family papers, - letters, diaries, clippings, personal account books, rough and final drafts of novels and plays, and other miscellaneous documentary material of which there is a great abundance.
