Eleonora Duse by Helen Sheehy,

A new biography, the first in two decades, of the legendary actress who inspired Anton Chekhov, popularized Henrik Ibsen, arts biography entertainment and spurred Stanislavski to create a new theory of acting based on her art arts biography entertainment and to invoke her name at every rehearsal. Writers loved her arts biography entertainment and wrote plays for her. She be-friended Rainer Maria Rilke arts biography entertainment and inspired the young James Joyce, who kept a portrait of her on his desk. Her greatest love, the poet d'Annunzio, made her the heroine of his novel Il fuoco (The Flame). She radically changed the art of acting: in a duel between the past arts biography entertainment and the future, she vanquished her rival, Sarah Bernhardt. Chekhov said of her, "I've never seen anything like it. Looking at Duse, I realized why the Russian theatre is such a bore." Charlie Chaplin called her "the finest thing I have seen on the stage." Gloria Swanson arts biography entertainment and Lillian Gish watched her perform with adoring attention, John Barrymore with awe. Shaw said she "touches you straight on the very heart."

The sentimental image that prevails is of a misty, tragic heroine victimized by men, by life; an artist of unearthly purity, without ambition.

"Life is hard," she said, "one must wound or be wounded." She wanted to reveal on the stage the truth about women's lives arts biography entertainment and she wanted her art to endure.
