The late Mrs. Glover, 1850. Creator: Unknown
The late Mrs. Glover, 1850. In 1800, Julia Betterton gave her hand to Mr. Samuel Glover, said to be heir to a large fortune. This proved a fallacy. He was extravagant and unkind. After a few years they separated; the idle and dissolute husband leaving his exemplary and accomplished wife to rear and educate by her own industry eight children...When the burnt-out Drury-Lane company were performing at the Lyceum, Mrs. Glover joined them, and made her first appearance at that theatre, as Mrs. Oakley, on the 28th of September, 1810...We agree with a contemporary (the Sunday Times, whence are condensed the majority of these details) that, looking back to Mrs. Glover's "long and brilliant career upon the stage, we may pronounce her one of the most extraordinary women and accomplished actresses that have ever graced the profession of the drama". From "Illustrated London News", 1850
