Description
Exploring the customs and mannerisms of theater life in the eighteenth century, the author presents a biography of English tragic actress, Sarah Siddons. This book reveals her complex character as nervous, reserved, almost austere; restrained and cautious in real life yet violent and emotional on stage. To do so, the author draws on Siddons' own letters, as well as Fanny Burney, Mrs. Thale, and others. Notable figures that also appear include Garrick, Sheridan, and the painter Thomas Lawrence.
