Publisher Synopsis
"Auerbach writes beautifully... In this biography of Ellen Terry, she evokes the story of every woman's life, in all its accepted roles... England's most famous actress is here re-created, herself creating the life of woman. A glorious book."-Carolyn G. Heilbrun "A splendid book."-Sir John Gielgud "One of the finest examples I know of theatre biography as cultural history... Auerbach's force of feeling ... [makes us] understand Terry's career as the bowdlerized body of woman's expressive genius in the Victorian age... A life-and-times classic that will become a model for other feminist work."-Jane Marcus, Women's Review of Books Read more...
