Excerpt from Recollections of an Actor
When a man has long passed the scriptural confines of life, - the emphatic three-score-and-ten, - he may be ac quitted of all vanity of authorship, all idea of frivolous display, in throwing his production on the waters of public Opinion; and hope behind the aegis of seventy-six winters to obtain the indulgence of the reader, while he escapes the censure of the critic.

Verkäuferbewertung 5 von 5 Sternen
Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book gives personal insights and critiques of some of the best actors of the era; it also reflects on the theatrical zeitgeist of the day. The author, himself an actor, presents an overview of the theatre environment of the early 19th century. The author reviews the state of the British stage as lacking any compelling national presence, unlike the French, which has a state-funded national theater. Insightfully, the author points out that while the British government does support arts institutions such as the Opera and the Royal Academy of Music, it provides no state funding for theater. There are also discussions on the challenges an actor faces in their career and whimsical accounts of the authorâs early experiences performing with actors such as Henry Johnston, Jack Johnstone, and Mrs. Siddons. Overall, this book is a primary source on the theater world of the early 19th century, and of interest to scholars and theater enthusiasts alike. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 9781332044597_0
