Book Description
Excerpt from Henry Irving The first chapter of this book was revised by Sir Henry Irving a few months before his death. It formed part of an authoritative biography which, had Sir Henry Irving lived until his projected, formal farewell of the stage next autumn, would have been published then. I have thought it well to let this chapter stand exactly as it left his hands, as it represents just what he wished to be printed during his life-time. In the future, however, I purpose amplifying this sketch of the early life of the great actor. The other chief articles in this volume were written within a few hours of Sir Henry's death: Personal Recollections, for The Daily Telegraph; Some Reminiscences, for The Standard; and Henry Irving: the Actor, for The Illustrated London News. Henry Irving on Tour appeared in The Sphere, by a curious coincidence, on the day of his death; and that on Irving and Westminster Abbey in the same paper of the following week.

Book Description
Excerpt from Henry Irving: A Record and Review In the following pages I have tried to give a straightforward account of Sir Henry Irving's theatrical career, from the time of his first appearance at Sunderland in 1856 to the recent production of Robespierre. Although I avow myself a warm admirer of the actor, I have not hesitated to quote unfavourable as well as laudatory criticisms of his impersonations. It has been my endeavour faithfully to represent the attitude which critics of the most diverse schools have taken up in regard to his work. The opinions of Mr. Clement Scott and Mr. William Archer, of Mr. Joseph Knight and Mr. A. B. Walkley, will accordingly be found side by side. I have purposely dealt at greater length with the earlier part of Sir Henry's life than with its more recent incidents, which are within the knowledge of all play-goers. To the studies of Irving by Mr. Austin Brereton, Mr. Joseph Hatton, Mr. Percy Fitzgerald, and Mr. "Frederick Daly," I have made frequent reference.

Book Description
Excerpt from Personal Reminiscences of Henry Irving Were my book a life of Henry Irving instead of a grouping of such matters as came into my own purview, I should probably feel some embarrassment in the commencement of a preface. Logically speaking, even the life of an actor has no preface. He begins, and that is all. And such beginning is usually obscure; but faintly remembered at the best. Art is a completion; not merely a history of endeavour. It is only when completeness has been obtained that the beginnings of endeavour gain importance, and that the steps by which it has been won assume any shape of permanent interest. After all, the struggle for supremacy is so universal that the matters of hope and difficulty of one person are hardly of general interest. When the individual has won out from the huddle of strife, the means and steps of his succeeding become of interest, either historically or in the educational aspect - but not before. From every life there may be a lesson to some one; but in the teeming millions of humanity such lessons can but seldom have any general or exhaustive force. The mere din of strife is too incessant for any individual sound to carry far. Fame, who rides in higher atmosphere, can alone make her purpose heard Well did the framers of picturesque idea understand their work when in her hand they put a symbolic trumpet.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Lyceum and Henry Irving IT was my original intention in regard to this history to write a book, about half the size of the present volume, dealing chiefly with the period of Henry Irving's long connection with the theatre. The feeling of public sympathy for the great actor manager in reference to the closing of the play-house was so strongly expressed, that it occurred to me that the moment was appropriate for a record of his work during his occupation of the building which he has made celebrated for all time in the chronicles of the stage and in those of London. For the rest, I knew something of the Keeleys, of the Vestris management, of the Planche' extravaganzas, of the Fechter regime, of Charles Dillon and Marie Wilton at the Lyceum. But little else was familiar even to students of the stage like myself, and there was an air of obscurity over the whole thing. I consequently thought, at the outset, that a preliminary chapter or two would suffice for the completion of the history down to the year 1871, more especially as the other writers on the subject had dismissed the matter very briefly. But on pursuing my researches, I was struck by the exceptional amount of interesting material which could be extracted from divers sources, and, encouraged by the publishers, who gave me a free hand in regard to Space and illustrations, I attempted the writing of an exhaustive history.

Book Description
Excerpt from Henry Irving: A Biographical Sketch United States was first made public, it occurred to me that the playgoers of America might possibly like to be possessed of some more information concerning the career of our representative actor than had hitherto been published. The idea led to the compilation of a short biography of Mr. Irving. Then came suggestions that an authentic memoir of the actor would be welcome in England. For such a purpose more information was required, and that was eventually obtained from various sources, with the result that the first chapters of the work contain some particulars relating to the early life of the actor which will probably be new to most of my readers.
