The librettist and theatre manager Alfred Bunn (1796-1860)
published these memoirs of his career, giving a view 'both before
and behind the curtain', in 1840. He professes not to be fond of
autobiographies, is clearly irritated at the not always flattering
walk-on role he is given in the memoirs of some of the greatest
contemporary performers, and regards this three-volume work as a
way of settling a number of scores. His account cannot therefore be
said to be unprejudiced, but it is written with a verve which makes
it very readable, and - allowing for bias and exaggeration -
provides a fascinating account of the period when Bunn was running
both the Theatre Royal at Drury Lane and the Opera House at Covent
Garden, providing libretti for some of the best known British
composers of the period, and quarrelling with almost everyone he
worked with in the course of his career.
