Críticas
Posterity in the long run may remember Herbert Beerbohm Tree as the mortal half-brother of the Immortal Max but in shorter perspective be remains the quivering, preposterous life of the English stage - both as actor and manager - during the still vivid heyday of Shaw, Terry, Pinero, Wilde and the Ibsen era. Three helped ??jegitamise the birth of modern theater with his knighthood but no one more perfectly exemplified its brash, mannered, egocentric personality. Socially he was studiedly income, one of the master comics, but behind the deliberate, affected madness, Tree was also generous, inspired, irresistibly charming - and a bit genuinely cracked. He treated mankind as an extension, disordered, atrociously performed, of stage existence, and there are numberless examples and episodes that mirror the fantastic essence of his nature. Pearson, a self-appointed Boswell and personal friend, has recorded, almost verbatim, some of the most astonishing, hilarious monologues and ?? and has fashioned a book of wonderful fun. For an audience that takes its theater with sophistication. (Kirkus Reviews)

Soft cover. Zustand: Very Good. Wrappers. Spine faded and slightly creased. New edition (biography of Sir Herbert Beerbohm Tree first published by Methuen, 1956), from the library of the author's literary executor, Sir Michael Holroyd; on p. 130 Holroyd's marginal marks and underlining, against the author's depiction of a scene in Tree's The Merry Wives of Windsor in 1902, "perhaps the most joyous and riotous thing of its kind ever seen on the stage". "I never saw Herbert Tree," writes Gielgud, "either on or off the stage, but I find him most vividly brought to life in this fascinating biography . . . The death of Queen Victoria, ushering in the rakish years of the new king's reign, seems to have led to a surprisingly permissive fashion for discreet adultery, especially among the actor-managers in the West End. Tree was evidently the leader in this field (though he was certainly matched by Gordon Craig in fathering a numerous brood of illegitimate offspring).". Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers HK100184
