Review # 1 was written on 2017-08-15 00:00:00 Raymond Junk Jr. This book is not the best or the most comprehensive biography of Booth out there, but it paints a vivid portrait of Booth's most famous "personations" -- Hamlet, Richard III and other epic roles -- and what distinguished those performances. It also provides the invaluable view of a contemporary, a man who moved in the same 19th-century circles as Booth and Mark Twain. Excellent timeline at the back, and a moving list of tributes that were made to Booth upon his death by an array of luminaries.

Review # 2 was written on 2012-03-23 00:00:00 Tony Arellano A Vasarian-like account of Edwin Booth's life. The last section of the book includes family trees, time lines, letters, etc. which is useful for the researcher. But if you are looking for a good biography of Booth, I'd recommend something more modern like Titone's book.
