Résumé du livre
Scholars agree that Thomas Wade (1805-1875) is perhaps the greatest find left in English literary history. A free-thinker who managed not to abandon his principles during a poetical career of 50 years, Wade wrote some of the most vibrant roles for women on the English stage in the period between Shakespeare and Shaw, and he drew the most favorable portrait of a Jew in English literature before Daniel Deronda. With the publication of this volume, his poems and plays have for the first time been compiled and edited.
