Edwin Booth
Author: L Oggel
Publisher: Greenwood
ISBN:
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 324
Book Description
Edwin Booth was the foremost Shakespearean actor in late nineteenth-century America, enjoying almost mythic status. This comprehensive analysis and documentation of his career provides an aperture from which to view theatre and society of the period. The scholarly bibliography of over 1,000 annotated entries includes substantive writings about Booth in books, journals, and dissertations covering 130 years during and after his career as well as ephemeral references to Booth in the major journals of his day and a section of specialized reference materials relating to Booth. Among its unique features are a section on Booth's own writings and a section on Booth manuscript materials identified in sixty-four repositories in the United States and England. A biographical sketch analyzes Booth's career in terms of the major periods and upheavals in his life: his early fame, the death of his first wife, the assassination of President Lincoln by his brother, his management of Booth's Theatre, and his national and international tours. Accompanying this is a chronology of major events, a genealogical chart, and reproductions of portraits and playbills. Fully indexed, this volume makes a wealth of material readily available to Booth scholars as well as to others researching related theatre and social history.

Mentions meeting the nephew of the author of The actor, an anonymously published account of Junius Brutus Booth. He identifies the author as "Vail -- I forget his first name. He was rather eccentric, I fancy (I met him but once - some years ago) for when I referred to this book he seemed annoyed and abruptly changed the subject and left me." In a postscript, sends regards on behalf of Lawrence Barrett.
