Description
The realities of running a theatre and putting up productions achieve imaginative form in Michael Kelly's Reminiscences (1826) and in Thomas Diblin's Reminiscences (1827). These personal histories detail the history and spectacle of Georgian and Regency London Theatre. The authors also show themselves in situations such as traveling and performing in Europe, witnessing events of the French Revolution, entering the business of music publishing, going through bankruptcy and disgrace, and engaging the foibles of George III and his family. Of interest as exercises in the purpose and art of memoir writing, these texts illustrate the construction, presentation, and valuation of art, the making of theatrical culture in the early nineteenth century. **********
