Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. Finalist for a Lambda Literary Award Finalist for the Publishing Triangles Judy Grahn Award for Lesbian Nonfiction Finalist for the Marfield Prize For fans of Book of Ages and American Eve, this lively, illuminating new biography (The Boston Globe) of 19th-century queer actress Charlotte Cushman portrays a brisk, beautifully crafted life (Stacy Schiff, bestselling author of The Witches and Cleopatra) that riveted New York City and made headlines across America.All her life, Charlotte Cushman refused to submit to others expectations. Raised in Boston at the time of the transcendentalists, a series of disasters cleared the way for her life on the stagea path she eagerly took, rejecting marriage and creating a life of adventure, playing the role of the hero in and out of the theater as she traveled to New Orleans and New York City, and eventually to London and back to build a successful career. Her Hamlet, Romeo, Lady Macbeth, and Nancy Sykes from Oliver Twist became canon, impressing Louisa May Alcott, who later based a character on her in Jos Boys, and Walt Whitman, who raved about the towering grandeur of her genius in his columns for the Brooklyn Daily Eagle. She acted alongside Edwin and John Wilkes Boothsupposedly giving the latter a scar on his neck that was later used to identify him as President Lincolns assassinand visited frequently with the Great Emancipator himself, who was a devoted Shakespeare fan and admirer of Cushmans work. Her wife immortalized her in the angel at the top of Central Parks Bethesda Fountain; worldwide, she was a lady universally acknowledged as the greatest living tragic actress. Behind the scenes, she was equally radical, making an independent income, supporting her family, creating one of the first bohemian artists colonies abroad, and living publicly as a queer woman. And yet, her name has since faded into the shadows. Now, her story comes to brilliant life with Tana Wojczuks Lady Romeo, an exhilarating and enlightening biography of the 19th-century trailblazer. With new research and rarely seen letters and documents, Wojczuk reconstructs the formative years of Cushmans life, set against the excitement and drama of 1800s New York City and featuring a cast of luminaries and revolutionaries who changed the cultural landscape of America forever. The story of an astonishing and uniquely American life, Lady Romeo reveals one of the most remarkable forgotten figures in our history and restores her to center stage, where she belongs. An illuminating and enthralling biography of trailblazing 19th-century queer actress Charlotte Cushman reveals the force and vitality of this woman on and off the stage.
