Curiosities Of The American Stage (Notable American Authors)

This book, as its name implies, is a series of chapters from the annals of the American Theatre; and it considers Plays and Players more particularly in their less familiar aspects. It does not pretend to be critical; and the greatest care has been taken to verify all the facts it contains (many of them here presented for the first time), in order that it may appeal to the small but select band of specialists known as Dramatic Collectors, as well as to those influential membei sof the community who are glad to call themselves Old Play-goers. The chapters upon The American Stage Negro, upon The American Burlesque, and upon a AC entury of American Hamlets, appeared originally in Harper s Magazine ;the others have been printed, in part, in other periodicals, but as now published they have all been rewritten, elaborated, and extended.(Typographical errors above are due to OCR software and don't occur in the book.)About the Publisher Forgotten Books is a publisher of historical writings, such as: Philosophy, Classics, Science, Religion, History, Folklore and Mythology.Forgotten Books' Classic Reprint Series utilizes the latest technology to regenerate facsimiles of historically important writings.
