Eleonora Duse: References & Edit History

Additional Reading

Eva Le Gallienne, The Mystic in the Theatre (1966; reissued 1973), is one artist’s attempt to evoke the ephemeral fascination of another and the only study that pays attention to Duse’s technique and the spiritual aspects of her art. Other treatments include John Stokes, Michael R. Booth, and Susan Bassnett, Bernhardt, Terry, Duse (1988); William Weaver, Duse (1984); and Giovanni Pontiero, Eleonora Duse in Life and Art (1986).
