The critic of the theatre may be viewed as its chronicler, or as the contributor of materials to a future history of the stage. Hazlitt held that some record of the actors was due to the world; while he noted that the player's art is one that perishes with him, leaving no trace of itself but in the faint descriptions of the pen or pencil. The lives of the players cannot be related without constant reference to contemporary reviews of their performances.
