Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - 'Bar and Buskin Being Memories of Life, Law and the Theatre' is an engaging and sophisticated memoir that bridges the seemingly disparate worlds of the British legal profession and the vibrant London stage at the turn of the 20th century. Written by Edward F. Spence, a distinguished King's Counsel who also served as a prominent drama critic, this work offers a dual perspective on the intellectual and cultural life of his era.The narrative provides a rich tapestry of experiences, from the rigorous demands of the courtroom and the personalities of the English bar to the glamour and evolution of the Victorian and Edwardian theater. Spence shares vivid anecdotes involving notable legal figures and legendary theatrical performers, capturing the spirit of an age defined by both tradition and dramatic transformation. His observations on the craft of acting, the mechanics of playwriting, and the social standing of the legal elite provide invaluable historical context.With wit and clarity, 'Bar and Buskin Being Memories of Life, Law and the Theatre' serves as both a personal reflection and a broader cultural history. It is an essential read for those interested in the history of English law, the development of modern dramatic criticism, and the intersection of professional life and the arts.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.

ALL UK PARCELS SENT TRACKED! ALL OVERSEAS PARCELS SENT AIRMAIL, TRACKED! (S/hand, Hardcover, 1928). 1928 1st edition. 8vo (135 x 198mm). Ppxvi,264 + 2pp ads. B/w photograph plates, illustrations. Binding B. Light blue-grey (though faded to almost yellow) pictorial cloth printed in black, titles on spine and upper board, wagtail bait vignette on spine, pike being weighed on upper board. Rather faded, spine frayed, foxed, lacks front end-paper. Good only. Spence was an advocate of size limits and catch-and-release, and spoke out against the gorge bait. His advice is still sound today, particularly when he speaks of spinning with natural and artificial baits. "It is probably the most thorough discourse on pike produced by any of our Ten Greats. We are as happy with Spence's philosophical standpoint as with his practical arguments. All Spence's work is liberally spattered with dry humour." (Rickards and Bannister, The Ten Greatest Pike Anglers, 1991). .…
