Ireland, Joseph N[orton] (1817–98), author. One of the major early historians of the American theatre, he entered his father's business after graduating from high school in his native New York. Leaving the company in 1855 and retiring to Bridgeport, Connecticut, Ireland devoted the rest of his long life to studying and writing about the stage. His major work was
Records of the New York Stage from 1750–1860 (2 vols., 1866–67). Although the work may be faulted for some factual errors, most of which George
Odell later corrected in his own
Annals, Ireland was an excellent historian who filled the book with numerous useful biographical sketches and other background information. He also wrote two biographies:
Mrs. Duff, 1882 and
A Memoir of the Professional Life of Thomas Abthorpe Cooper, 1888.
