Download or read book Shakespeare s Heroines on the Stage Classic Reprint written by Charles E. L. Wingate and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-08 with total page 484 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1895 edition. Excerpt: ...as vicious and the bad despised as foolish." The lady who created Dryden's heroine was a favorite of the town, and was of reputation less fair than her model complexion. Little Mrs. Boutell, with her childish look and weak voice, would hardly be considered fitting for the Queen of Caesar and of Antony; but as she " generally acted the young, innocent lady whom all the heroes are mad in love with," she apparently possessed a considerable degree of allurement in her action. Elizabeth Barry, whom Dryden pronounced the best actress he had ever seen, and who, although dis figured by a crooked mouth and plain features, could captivate my Lord Rochester, and could secure from James II.'s Queen, as a present, her majesty's wedding and coronation robes, was Mrs. Boutell's successor; and she, in turn, was followed by the tall, handsome Mrs. Oldfield, with the benevolent heart and the "speaking eyes," the lady who enjoyed the protection of the brother of the Duke of Marlborough, and who would play Cleopatra when she was thirtyfive. The jovial though demure-faced Peg Woffington, who excelled in Cleopatra, first tried the character when she was twenty-nine. The delicate and lovely Mrs. Hartley, whose features served as the model for many of Sir Joshua Reynold's pictures, was but twenty-two when she took up the part. Miss Younge, the lifelike copy of George III.'s idol, the beautiful Lady Sarah Lennox, was older by a decade, while Mrs. Siddons, who appears to have played the mile but once, was one year older still. A curious adventure befell the lovely and wicked George Anne Bellamy in the play, an adventure in which a rival actress, with truly womanly revenge, drove the...
