Clement William Scott:
(6 October 1841 – 25 June 1904).
Influential English theatre critic for The Daily Telegraph and other journals, and a playwright, lyricist, translator and travel writer, in the final decades of the 19th century. His style of criticism, acerbic, flowery and (perhaps most importantly) carried out on the first night of productions, set the standard for theatre reviewers through to today.
Will love be true as December frost, or fickle and fall like the rose in June?
