Excerpt from Imaginary Interviews
If I do, I am the only pebble on the shore of time that does or will, retorted the unreal editor. But he wrote you for only two months. I well remember what a pleasure he had in it. And he knew how to make his readers share his pleasure! Still, it was Mr. Mitchell who invented you, and it was Curtis who characterized you beyond all the rest.

Excerpt from Imaginary Interviews
It is not generally known that after forty-two years of constant use the aged and honored movable which now again finds itself put back in its old place in the rear of Harper's Magazine was stored in the warehouse of a certain safety-deposit company, in the winter of 1892. The event which had then vacated the chair is still so near as to be full of a pathos tenderly personal to all readers of that magazine, and may not be lightly mentioned in any travesty of the facts by one who was thought of for the empty place. He, before putting on the mask and mimic editorial robes - for it was never the real editor who sat in the Easy Chair, except for that brief hour when he took it to pay his deep-thought and deep-felt tribute to its last occupant - stood with bowed face and uncovered head in that bravest and gentlest presence which, while it abode with us here, men knew as George William Curtis.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This insightful collection gathers musings and analysis from a popular 20th-century critic for Harper's Magazine. Looking at the early years of vaudeville, the first decades of the 20th century, this retrospective offers a unique insight into societal standards, the commercialization of entertainment, and the shift from high culture to popular entertainment. Examining a range of topics, from the preoccupation with the holidays, the rise of celebrity, and the glorification of youth, the author's sharp wit and thoughtful observations capture the spirit of the age. Amidst the rapid changes brought on by industrialization and urbanization, the author explores the human condition, providing poignant social commentary and revealing literature's enduring power to reflect and shape society. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
