Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Society Clown: Reminiscences In the first place, he is hampered by having to be so egotistical. He must talk about him self, which is never a nice thing to do. He cannot very well tell stories in his own favour; and if he tells them against himself, he affects humility: if he talks about his distinguished acquaintances, he becomes a snob; in short, I can only repeat my former observation, that he is bound to make an ass of himself. For a moment or two I did not know what to say, for my conscience smote me. At last I said: I am very pleased to hear your candid, and certainly unbiassed, opinion; for I have just accepted an offer from Mr. Arrowsmith to do a shilling book of my own reminiscences for the Bristol Library Series.

Book excerpt: The Diary of a Nobody, penned by the Grossmith brothers, stands as a seminal work within the realm of English literature, effortlessly encapsulating the essence and whimsy of the late Victorian era through its distinctive epistolary format and the comedic tableau via the life of Charles Pooter. The overarching themes of social mobility, mundane existence, and the humorous trials and tribulations of the lower middle class are explored with a finesse and wit that remains unmatched. This collection's range of literary stylesfrom diary entries to incidental commentaryprovides a layered and nuanced view of 19th-century English society, positioning it as a standout piece in the canon of comedic literature. The Grossmith brothers bring a unique synergy to this work, harmonizing George's established career as a comedic actor and singer with Weedon's artistic prowess. Together, they craft a narrative that is as much a reflection on personal identity and societal norms as it is an entertaining chronicle. Their backgrounds in performance and art significantly inform the text's delivery and its critical reception, anchoring it within the cultural and literary movements of the time. The Diary of a Nobody is more than a mere collection; it is a portal to Victorian England, offering readers an exceptional opportunity to delve into the intricacies of its social fabric through laughter and contemplation. This anthology is recommended for those who seek not only to understand the undercurrents of late 19th-century society but also to appreciate the craft of storytelling through an unorthodox and enriching lens.

Download or read book Arthur Sullivan: A Victorian Musician written by Arthur Jacobs and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-12-13 with total page 566 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Published in 1992. This is a revised, enlarged edition of a book which on its original appearance in 1984 was hailed as a landmark in the study of Victorian musical life. It presents the figure of Sir Arthur Sullivan (1842-1990) not only as the celebrated co-creator of light operas with W.S Gilbert, but as a composer of all kinds of music from symphony and concerto to ballads such as ‘The Lost Chord’ and hymns such as ‘Onward, Christian Soldiers’. A prominent public life, with a knighthood in 1883, is contrasted with an unconventional private life involving a liaison of almost thirty years with an American living in London, Mary Frances Ronalds. The author’s access to Sullivan’s diary held by Yale University and to letters and other documents at the Pierpont Morgan library in New York gives this book both a unique authority and a deep human understanding. A new chapter updates research to the 150th anniversary of the composer’s birth, 1992, and incorporates music examples.

Download or read book The Rise of the Victorian Actor written by Michael Baker and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-07-24 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally published in 1978. Between 1830 and 1890 the English theatre became recognisably modern. Standards of acting and presentation improved immeasurably, new playwrights emerged, theatres became more comfortable and more intimate and playgoing became a national pastime with all classes. The actor’s status rose accordingly. In 1830 he had been little better than a social outcast; by 1880 he had become a member of a skilled, relatively well-paid and respected profession which was attracting new recruits in unprecedented numbers. This is a social history of Victorian actors which seeks to show how wider social attitudes and developments affected the changing status of acting as a profession. Thus the stage’s relationship with the professional world and the other arts is dealt with and is followed by an assessment of the moral and religious background which played so decisive a part in contemporary attitudes to actors. The position of actresses in particular is given special consideration. Many non-theatrical sources are used here and there is a survey of salaries and working conditions in the theatre to show how the rising social status of the actor was matched by changes in his theatrical standing. A novel area of study is covered in tracing the changing social composition of the acting profession over the period and in exploring the case-histories of three generations of performers.
