Synopsis
This book is an analysis of the 1898 Paris performance of Italian actress Eleonora Duse, the high expectations that preceded her appearance, and the controversy that her choices generated. In the nineteenth century, Parisians considered the French theater to be the most important, and the French considered their actors and actresses to be the best. While Duse had received accolades in other European countries, and even America, the French were unimpressed until Alexandre Dumas named her his heir. Despite being supported by the great Sarah Bernhardt, Duse's performances were met with criticism and disappointment. The author analyzes the reasons for both the negative and positive reactions to Duse's performances and places them in the context of 19th century theatrical history, when the reputation of one's country was at stake. This book will appeal to anyone interested in theatrical history, cultural criticism, or the life and career of Eleonora Duse.
