"""One may say that any life or any company is without consequence, but well-done biographies and performance histories, such as Edwin Booth and American Tragedian, remind theatre historians that, without them, further histories will also suffer in consequence.""--Journal of Dramatic Theory and Criticism ""Scrupulously researched and documented, accessibly written, and complete in scope. This comprehensive biography presents the clearest picture yet of its endlessly compelling and maddeningly elusive hero.""--The Journal of American Drama and Theatre ""Watermeier's study of the preeminent actor of the nineteenth-century American theatre will doubtless be an essential biography for years to come.""--Theatre Survey ""After a lifetime of work, Daniel Watermeier has produced what will soon emerge as the foremost biography of Edwin Booth; the one that scholars will read first when pursuing the wily Booths.""--Dr. Stephen M. Archer, University of Missouri"
