RE: JWB and Fame
I think Booth had a very inflated opinion of himself and what he could do for the Confederacy. A showboat, in my opinion.
I haven't finished Ms. Titone's book yet, but from what I've read about JWB and Edwin up to now, I really don't see an intense rivalry. Booth praised Edwin one time saying "He IS Hamlet. Melancholy and all." He went to visit Edwin in early April 1865 in Boston. Although the visit was short and there was still some tension, I don't see a bad relationship between them until the blow up they had after the Shakespeare fundraiser in Nov. 1864.
