Description

Mrs. Siddons

In spite of Mrs. Siddonss professed shrinking from the celebrity that biographers would confer upon her, and her preference for the still small voice of tender relatives and estimable friends, we know that she bequeathed her Memoranda, Letters, and Diary to the poet Campbellan intimate friend during her latter yearswith a request that he would prepare them for publication. How, with the ample material at his command, Campbell wrote so bad a life, it is difficult to conceive. He seemed conscious himself that he was not doing justice to his subject. The task of finishing it weighed on him like a nightmare. To secure himself from interruption he would fix a placard on the door of his chambers announcing that Mr. Campbell was engaged with the biography of Mrs. Siddons, and was not to be disturbed. Though performing the task unwillingly, he stubbornly refused to allow anyone else to attempt it. When Mrs. Jameson contemplated writing a life of the great actress he was most indignant, and expressed himself as unable to understand how Mrs. Combe (Cecilia Siddons) could patronise a life of her mother[vi] by Mrs. Jameson, knowing that he had been appointed the biographer. Boadens account of Mrs. Siddons is sketchy and meagre, and his style, if possible, more pedantic and ponderous than Campbells. Crabb Robinson declared it to be one of the most worthless books of biography in existence. ......Buy Now (To Read More)
