Strange Eventful History, A Remarkable Families by M Holroyd
Ellen Terry was a natural actress who filled the theatre with a magical radiance. Her greatest partnership was on-stage, with legendary actor-manager and tragedian Henry Irving. This book also reveals the forgotten man of modernism - Edward Gordon Craig, the revolutionary stage designer.
Besides the Lives of Augustus John, Bernard Shaw and Lytton Strachey (which was filmed as Carrington), Michael Holroyd has written two volumes of memoirs, Basil Street Blues and Mosaic. He is the current president of the Royal Society of Literature and the only non-fiction writer to have been awarded the British Literature Prize. He lives in London and Somerset with his wife, the novelist Margaret Drabble.
