Language: English . Brand New Book ***** Print on Demand *****. Excerpt from Samuel Foote: A Biography It might perhaps, seem an exaggeration or a surprise were I to say that I am about to introduce to the reader the most remarkable and one of the most gifted persons that ever figured on the English stage. It would indeed be difficult to decide whether he was more remarkable on the stage or off it. No actor has been so successful as dramatist, no actor such a wit or humorist, and, finally, no actor has had so stirring and adventurous a course. He was a gentleman by birth and breeding, yet grew up and was trained in taverns and pothouses. He spent his life mimicking respectable people, making them odious and ridiculous, and thus secured a handsome living - yet was never challenged or chastised. He was said to have run through three large fortunes. There is no story, therefore, more likely to be full of interest and excitement. A restless, energetic personage - perpetually moving to and fro - now in this kingdom, now in that. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
