Arthur Shields was the intended subject of the dissertation. Jacobs writes 'There is one figure in the history of the Abbey, however, who has been almost totally neglected in the shadow of all that stellar brilliance. He is, in spite of this neglect, an immensely important, exceptionally worthwhile and devoted man of the theatre.
