The Palmy Days of Nance Oldfield by Edward Robins is a biographical account of the life and career of the famous English actress, Nance Oldfield. The book details Oldfield's rise to fame in the early 18th century and her success as a leading lady in London's theatre scene. Robins describes Oldfield's personal life, including her romantic relationships and friendships with notable figures of the time, such as Alexander Pope and Richard Steele. The book also explores the cultural and social context of Oldfield's career, including the political climate and the role of women in society. Overall, The Palmy Days of Nance Oldfield provides a comprehensive and engaging portrait of a fascinating historical figure and her impact on the world of theatre.How sparklingly is Miss Smith acting Lady Teazle to-night! we say, elegantly pressing our hands together in token of august favour. We are entranced, and it follows, therefore, that the actress must be entranced likewise. Mayhap Miss Smith does not share the same ecstacy; perhaps, as she stands behind the screen in Joseph Surface's rooms, Sir Peter's wife is wishing that the comedy were ended and she were comfortably ensconced in her cosy little lodgings round the corner.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
