Description
In this vivid portrait of one of the most famous actresses of her time, Aston focuses on Bernhardt's London stage career, from her dazzling early performances to her later years, when the septuagenarian actress still gave short performances to music hall audiences. By making use of contemorary critical documantation from the London theatre world, the author is able to offer a fascinating reassessment of Bernhardt's life and work.
