Pages : 340
Book Description
Excerpt from Romances of the French Theatre This book is not intended as - and is unlikely to be mistaken for - a philosophical disquisition on the aesthetics of the stage. Its purpose is chie y to tell stories; but to tell them without suppressing the material facts necessary to a sound judgment of the rights of the case and a well-informed criticism of certain aspects of life. It ought, of course, to be super uous for a bio grapher to justify himself for telling the truth; but, as a matter of fact, biographers are continually getting into trouble with critics of a certain school of thought for doing so. They alone among men of letters are sometimes reproached for refusing to deceive their readers. Historians, for instance, are expected not only to tell the truth if they happen to know it, but also to take a great deal of trouble to ascertain it. They can burrow in archives with impunity, and in full confidence that they will be commended for their industry and not accused of grubbing up Old scandals, or told that, when they make unpleasant discoveries, they ought to keep their knowledge to themselves. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books. Find more at www.forgottenbooks.com This book is a reproduction of an important historical work. Forgotten Books uses state-of-the-art technology to digitally reconstruct the work, preserving the original format whilst repairing imperfections present in the aged copy.
