The Terrible Fitzball: The Melodramatist of the Macabre - Paperback

by Larry Stephen Clifton (Author)

The greatest portrayer of blue-fire deviltry, Edward Fitzball was a melodramatist on the nineteenth-century British stage. His Theatre of the Macabre was very much a forebearer of the sensationalized media of today. This book discusses Fitzball's life, and his dramatic oeuvre.
