Lewis's "novel of a young girl on the stage". The quote from Arthur Kulosas on the title page reads: "Until the nineteenth century, actors were classed as Rogues & Vagrants. They were outside of respectable sociey --like Kings--and I am not sure but that this was better for their art and their happiness than to be classed as lecturers, tax-payers, tennis-players, suburban householders, and lovers of dogs." . Good .
