Edwin's one of my favorite historical figures. I wish more people knew about him.

She gave me for my pains a world of sighs.
She swore, i' faith, 'twas strange, 'twas passing strange;
'Twas pitiful, 'twas wondrous pitiful.
She wished she had not heard it; yet she wished
That heaven had made her such a man. She thanked me;
And bade me, if I had a friend that loved her,
I should but teach him how to tell my story,
And that would woo her. Upon this hint I spake.
She loved me for the dangers I had passed,
And I loved her that she did pity them.

I read two bios of Edwin that may still be found in libraries: "The Prince of Players" and "The Darling of Misfortune." "Prince of Players" was made into a film starring a young Richard Burton as Edwin, John Derek as Johnnie, and Raymond Massey as their father. It's a great way to see how the young Burton does Shakespeare. E. Booth was the first great American stage star and the Booth Theatre on W45th in NYC is named for him. He also founded The Players Club on Gramercy Park, where he lived.
