By the close of the Eighteenth Century, the theatrical memoir had become a popular and established genre. The texts brought together in the second part of this ten-volume facsimile collection present the lives of some of the most celebrated actresses of their day. As well as offering fascinating accounts of the late eighteenth-century stage, these memoirs also provide revealing insights into contemporary constructions of gender, sexuality and fame.
