Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Shakespeariana
When, therefore, I read this criticism in the Saturday Review, I could not but feel that if Miss Anderson' s delivery of blank verse did indeed fall conspicuously short of the standard set by our own best actors and actresses the effect of it must be extremely painful.
Only two other points on which the theatrical critics had been equally unanimous remain to be mentioned In this summary of their opinions. They had all concurred in dismissing Mrs. Stirling' 5 Nurse with a brief word of passing notice, as a piece Of acting, admirable indeed, but needing no comment, because every detail of it was already quite familiar to the public in connection with Mr. Irving's revival Of Romeo and falt'et. We were therefore led to suppose that we should find in the performance of this fine actress absolutely no new feature, and that her rendering of the part was a stereotype.
