Earlier biographies include Richard Lockridge, Darling of Misfortune (1932, reprinted 1971), especially interesting for details of Booth’s business misadventures; and William Winter, Life and Art of Edwin Booth (1893, reissued 1968), a standard and valuable study by a contemporary. An exhaustive work by Stanley Kimmel, The Mad Booths of Maryland, 2nd rev. and enlarged ed. (1970); and Gene Smith, American Gothic (1992), examine the entire Booth clan.
