Book Description

Excerpt from On Actors and the Art of Acting My Dear Trollope, One reason for inscribing this trifle to you is that years ago you expressed a wish to see some dramatic criticisms which had interested you-republished in a more accessible form than the pages of a periodical. The reasons which have always deterred me from republishing articles written for a temporary purpose have not lost their force; and if I here weave together several detached papers into a small volume, it is because a temporary purpose may again be served now a change seems coming over the state of the stage, and there are signs of a revival of the once splendid art of the actor.
