Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Life of Henry Irving, Vol. 1 As this book tells the story of the life of Henry Irving, it follows that, in regard to the author, it is almost entirely impersonal. So that a few words of explanation and acknowledgment may be permitted by way of preface to the actual narrative. In writing this book, I have assumed the position of a third person. That is to say, I have endeavoured to view the subject from an independent point of view. In other words, I have tried to relate the career of the man and the actor as it really was. I have invariably held myself aloof and have allowed the story to tell itself. This attitude could not have been adopted had I not possessed certain qualifications for the work. The first of these qualifications, I take it, is my sympathy for the man and my admiration for the artist. It is no mere figure of speech to say that this book is the result of a labour of love. It is that, at least. Irving was my constant friend for twenty-five years. His friendship never wavered in all those years, and it deepened with time. If I have nothing else to be thankful for, I should ever hold it, as a proud and blessed memory, that, in the closing years of his life, so good and so great a man, and one a score of years or so my elder, could wear me in his heart. But something more than sympathy and admiration are required for a biographer. This book is not a panegyric.

Book excerpt: 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.
