This is the first complete edition of the letters and notebooks of
actress Mary Devlin, Edwin Booth's first wife, and is the first
reference of its kind in nineteenth-century American theatre
scholarship. These documents provide a fascinating perspective on
Booth, his life, and the development of his career, and include new
materials recently uncovered through the editor's research. The
volume is also a valuable guide to biograhical information about
Booth's father and brother (John Wilkes Booth), and to studies of
Mary Devlin Booth and her influence on her husband. In addition, it
identifies sources that reflect certain mid-nineteenth-century
attitudes and provides a clearer picture of the conventional role
wives had in their husband's careers during that period.
