This two-volume biography presents the extraordinary and moving story, from acclaim to obscurity, of Dorothy Jordan (1761-1816), the celebrated comic actress, lover of Prince William, Duke of Clarence, and contemporary of Sarah Siddons. It was published in 1831 by her friend, the playwright and biographer James Boaden (1762-1839).
Inspired by 'gratitude to the actor and duty to the public, to perpetuate the character of excellence, and afford models for imitation to future artists', this two-volume 1827 biography of acclaimed tragedian Sarah Siddons (1755-1831) fed popular obsession with theatrical anecdote and criticism in an age of transformation for the English stage.
