Henry Irving and the Victorian Theatre

Summary

Originally published in 1978. Henry Irving achieved an astounding success in Britain and America as an actor. Irving, the man, with his tenacious, obsessive talent, his human limitations and weaknesses, and his ephemeral glory is brought most sympathetically to life in this biography. It is written from contemporary sources, and from criticisms, lampoons, caricatures and gossip columns.
