Alexander Woollcott

Long, Long Ago Alexander Woollcott

This early work by Alexander Woollcott was originally published in the early 20th century and we are now republishing it with a brand new introductory biography. 'Long, Long Ago' is a work in which the famous critic tells perhaps-true anecdotes about the famous people he came in to contact with. Alexander Humphreys Woollcott was born on the 19th January, 1887 in New Jersey, America and was a critic and commentator for The New Yorker magazine. One of New York's most prolific drama critics, Woollcott was an owlish character whose caustic wit either joyously attracted or vehemently repelled the artistic communities of 1920s Manhattan.
