Of the town of New York, shivered in the damp air, and won dered why the curtain was not raised. In the easiest chair - though not by any means an easy-chair sat the popular Miss Cheer, reflecting on a new tri umph imminent in Cleopatra, but not foreseeing the great disaster of later years, when with beauty lost through advancing age, and with a married name to take away the impressionable charm of maidenhood, she was to return to the stage, after the Revolution, only to be received with dissatisfied silence and to be relegated to minor characters.

Book Description
Excerpt from Shakespeare's Heroines on the Stage In so far as it is a literary sin to attempt the writing of any bit of history in a brief and anecdotical vein, I cry Peccavi. But what would you? To obtain simply the foundation for this book required patience-trying researches among dust-covered shelves where rested antique play-bills and moth-eaten records. To produce the much desired, but as yet unexisting, "Complete History of Shakespeare on the Stage," would necessitate the patience of Job and the age of Methuselah. I have not the one, nor can I reasonably expect the other. And even if I had both gifts, I should not ask my friends, the gentle readers, to emulate the man of sorrows in mentally struggling through such a ponderous work. For their sakes I have made this book as short as I could; I hope none will wish it were shorter. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
Shakespeare has been a central figure in German literature and theatre. This book tells the story of Shakespeare in the German-speaking theatre against the background of German culture and politics in the twentieth century. It follows the earlier volume by Simon Williams on the reception of Shakespeare during the previous 300 years (Shakespeare on the German Stage, 1586-1914). Hortmann concentrates on the two most important and fruitful periods: the years of the Weimar Republic (1919-1933) and the turbulent decades of the sixties and seventies, when the German theatre was revitalised by a stormy marriage of avant-garde art and revolutionary politics. A section by Maik Hamburger covers developments in the theatres of the German Democratic Republic. Hortmann focuses on the most representative and colourful directors and actors, describing and illustrating individual productions as examples of particular trends or movements.

Excerpt from The Girlhood of Shakespeare's Heroines in a Series of Tales, Vol. 5 Going to him I Do you know how far it is to the frozen regions whither culprits are banished, little one asked the man. Yes I know it is a long way off - but I have managed to come nearly a fourth of my journey, and I shall get through the rest, never fear. Never fear But don't you fear It's a fear ful way, and a fearful place when you get there. I know it is but if it's bad for me, it's bad for my father - and it will make the place better for him if he have his little Paulina with him, to help him bear its fearfulness. I am not speaking of what it is to him it would be more tolerable to him, I dare say, with his child to keep him company there but what I mean is, that it will be a terrible place for you - you don't know its horrors.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Girlhood of Shakespeare's Heroines in a Series of Fifteen Tales Although little or no attempt will be found in these tales to give pictures of the times in which their chief actors may be supposed to have lived, yet it is hoped that no gross violation of probability in period, scene, or custom has been committed. The development of character, not of history, has been the intention. In the case of the only historic personage who figures in these biographic tales - Lady Macbeth - names and facts have been used; but with as little regard to their strict place in history, as was paid by the poet himself, who took the story from the old chronicles, and modelled it after his own fashion.
