Card covers unevenly faded, one corner somewhat dogeared, internally a clean, tight, VG copy. [xiv],130pp, b&w illustrations. 215x140mm. 0802065368. 255g. '"Margaret! unhappy maid! thou art my destined prey! thy blood must feed a Vampire's life, & prove the food of his disgusting banquet." If Hamlet was right, & the theatre does hold the mirror up to nature, what kind of nature did a play such as 'The Vampyre' (from which that impassioned apostrophe comes) reflect in its glass? And what relation does it bear to the generally accepted master works of the nineteenth-century stage, the plays of Ibsen & Shaw, for example? In this book Robertson Davies explores in loving detail the world of nineteenth-century melodrama - the plays, the actors, & the theatres themselves - to find the answers to these & other questions. It is the distillation of a lifetime's experience as audience, actor, teacher, & reader, & Davies shares with us this experience & the delights inherent in it. Explore with him the world of William the simple tailor & his black-eyed Susan; & of innumerable Millers' Daughters, all with fatal attraction, no power of resistance, & uncommon fecundity. Discover the nature & causes of Heroine's Disease. Watch for the Melancholy Man with his discreditable secret. And in the process learn a new or renew an old pleasure in the nineteenth-century stage.'
