"Heroines of the Modern Stage" by Forrest Izard is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The volume is part of the "Modern Heroines Series," and it seeks to document the lives and careers of notable actresses who left a significant mark on the English and American theatrical landscapes. The book emphasizes both celebrated figures from the past and contemporary actresses who may not have achieved the same level of fame but contributed meaningfully to the stage. The opening portion of the book introduces the structure of the work and the author’s intent to highlight the careers of actresses such as Sarah Bernhardt, Helena Modjeska, and others. It begins with a preface addressing the importance of recognizing modern actresses and notes the lack of accessible biographies of these women. Specifically, it touches on Bernhardt’s early life, her ambitious nature, and her rise to fame, setting the stage for a deeper exploration of her extraordinary career as the book progresses. The opening characterizes Bernhardt not only as a great actress but as a multifaceted personality whose eccentricities and artistic prowess defined her remarkable journey in the theatre.
