HC An Apology for his Life, Colley Cibber, The book describes his life in a personal, anecdotal and even rambling style. He wrote 25 plays for his own company at Drury Lane, half of which were adapted from various sources, which led Robert Lowe and Alexander Pope, among others, to criticize his “miserable mutilation” of “crucified Molière [and] hapless Shakespeare”. He regarded himself as first and foremost an actor and had great popular success in comical fop parts, while as a tragic actor he was persistent but much ridiculed. He was the primary target of Pope’s satirical epic poem, The Dunciad. The original was written in 1740. . Published by J.M. Dent & Sons in 1938.
