Ellen Terry and Her Sisters

The book offers a compact biography of a leading Victorian actress, following her childhood fascination with the stage, first appearances, and development within provincial and London companies. It interweaves accounts of her sisters' theatrical careers and family background, and records engagements at key theatres, notable roles, and collaborations with prominent contemporaries. Chapters describe company life, touring, and later seasons at major houses, while photographs and portraits illustrate stage likenesses and personal settings. The final sections reflect on later years and the closing stages of the theatrical life.
