À propos de l'auteur

Percy Hetherington Fitzgerald was an Anglo-Irish author, biographer, critic, painter, and sculptor. Born in 1834 in Fane Valley, County Louth, he was the son of Thomas Fitzgerald. He received his education at Belvedere College in Dublin, continued at Stonyhurst College in Lancashire, and later graduated from Trinity College, Dublin. Initially trained for the legal profession, he was called to the bar but soon redirected his efforts toward literature and the arts. Fitzgerald moved to London where he became a regular contributor to periodicals and gained recognition for his literary criticism and historical works. Among his most notable publications are biographies of prominent theatrical figures and comprehensive histories of English drama. He had a particular interest in the lives and works of Charles Dickens and Sir Henry Irving. Fitzgerald also pursued visual arts, producing busts and portraits, and maintained a deep admiration for the theatrical world. He died in Dublin on 24 November 1925 at the age of 91. Throughout his long career, he remained a devoted chronicler of Victorian culture and the figures who shaped it.
