Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book presents a frank and detailed historical account of the British stage and its players, managers, and customs, from the early 19th century into the 1840s.

The book is full of anecdotes, controversies, and descriptions of famous actors and actresses of the time, and is peppered with the author's own opinions and observations.
