London England: Max Reinhardt, 1956. Hardback. Slight foxing to end inside covers. Grey cloth with brown lettering. Rachel was too well aware of the worth of publicity to fell the forest of legend that, fertilized by ignorance, by malice and design, rose about her in her own time. I have set out to disentangle her life from legend, to record it as completly as I can; and if, in the process, fact resemebles fiction, that is the fault of history. I have tried to suggest her technique and significance as an actress, to show how French classical tragedy, falling to disuse when she entered her career, was briefly raised, by her single inspiration, to a glory which it had not knwon and has not (even with Bernhardt) since attained. Illustrated. 222 pp. (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions etc.).
