Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Burbage and Shakespeare´s Stage The Lives of the Burbages ought to have been written long since by others. For many years I have desired to do this work, and published instalments in "The Fortnightly" and the "Athenæum," 1909, but the decision of the Shakespeare League to raise a Memorial to them in Shoreditch, determined me to do so at once, in order to help that Memorial Scheme. Therefore the collection, arrangement and publication of my materials, have at the last been rather more hurried than I would have liked, and some details may have been left in a state of comparative incompleteness which more leisure would have remedied. I would have liked to have said something of the lives of other contemporaries, such as Edward Alleyn, "who was Esquire made," and Ben Jonson, who criticized and praised Shakespeare; and to have aired some of my theories regarding the dramatic history of the time. But I did not wish, by presenting too many interesting people in the background, to distract my readers´ attention from the central figures, or to divert their thoughts from the facts presented, to any discussion of my views. I may now, however, make some trifling suggestions regarding the facts on which I have so long dwelt. It may be noticed, by those who read my Note 28, the list of "the performances for 80 years of the Burbage Company," that there is a gap during which they do not perform at court, i.e., between 1563 and 1572. This may have arisen from lack of business qualities in the manager. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
