BROWN, ELUNED. (EDITOR).

The London Theatre 1811-1866. Selections from the Diary of Henry Crabb Robinson.

London: The Society for Theatre Research, 1966. 1st edition. "Crabb Robinson's theatre records extend from 1811 to 1866 - which means that, as well as Mrs Siddons, Kemble and Mrs Jordan, he saw the juvenile Ellen Terry. That is a tremendous span of unprofessional reporting. It would have been a bore to preserve his abbreviations and mis-spellings of proper names. But it was essential to our pleasure to retain his ordinary spelling, his capitals and, especially, his punctuation." (V.C.Clinton-Baddeley, Foreword). Pp.227, crease with small edge tear to pp.17-20. Grey stiff card covers, slightly rubbed. Scarce. G+.
