The Autobiography of Joseph Jefferson is a memoir written by the famous American actor Joseph Jefferson and published in 1897. The book chronicles Jefferson's life from his childhood in Philadelphia to his successful career as an actor in New York and London. Jefferson was known for his portrayal of the character Rip Van Winkle, which he first performed at the age of 24 and continued to play for the rest of his life. The book describes Jefferson's experiences playing this role, as well as his other notable performances in plays such as Our American Cousin and The Rivals. In addition to his acting career, the book also delves into Jefferson's personal life, including his family relationships, his love of fishing, and his travels around the world. The book provides a fascinating glimpse into the life of one of the most well-known actors of the 19th century, and is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of American theater.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
