About this ebook
In addition to being one of the leading theatrical managers and performers in England during the last half of the eighteenth century, Tate Wilkinson was, perhaps, the greatest mimic who ever lived. He had the ability to precisely imitate a person's voice, even a woman's, and also to duplicate the individual's walk, gestures, and facial features. To be "taken off" in the eighteenth century, however, was considered a serious personal insult, and Wilkinson suffered ostracism and threats of violence for exhibiting the peculiarities of others before the public.
