    This is the true story of the life of Joseph Smedley. He was an actor, initially with the Lincoln theatre and its circuit from just after the turn of the nineteenth century, and covers his decision to form his own company, with his new wife, and to tour theatres in Humberside and the East Midlands. The Life And Times Of Joseph Smedley looks at what it was like to be a strolling player in the first half of the nineteenth century, how he used his growing family to fill roles in his repertoire of plays, and the problems he faced in making a living as an actor. The book examines the people of the day, including the Robertsons who ran the theatres in Lincoln, Nottingham and Derby and their circuits; the actors, and those who contributed to his work, and his efforts from the beginning both to survive, and to build one of the largest touring circuits in the country; and looks at events of those times which affected him, his family and his company of actors. The Life And Times Of Joseph Smedley shows how he tried to treat people fairly, and how he tried to achieve a reputation for honesty and good behaviour in members of his company, and how he attempted to elevate his profession from its maligned reputation for drunkenness and debauchery into one of a "school of eloquence, a Temple of the Arts".

    Vincent van Gogh is undoubtedly one of the most influential painters of the end of the 19th century. His style was unique in that he used all types of colors in a painting that didn’t show those colors in reality and somehow, he still made it work and look like an actual shape. Different from other impressionistic artists, he developed his still lifes, his portraits, and other beautiful paintings. 
    An entire museum in Amsterdam is dedicated to the works of Vincent van Gogh. And even though his name is famous now, his life was tough, and he faced many fears, worries, and inner demons. Van Gogh was depressed. According to the narrative, he cut off his own ear, and eventually, he committed suicide at the age of 37. The sad reality that this artist’s success wasn’t evident during his life but only after his death, doesn’t change the fact that he is, nevertheless, a grand success. If only he were alive to see it. 
    Let’s discuss the circumstances under which this Dutch painter lived, and what moved him to go into the direction in which he did.
