Publisher's Synopsis
A Georgian Actress (1900) is a book written by Pauline Bradford Mackie. It is a historical novel that tells the story of a young woman named Rosalind who dreams of becoming an actress in 18th century England. Rosalind comes from a wealthy family and is expected to follow the traditional path of marriage and motherhood, but she defies these expectations and pursues her passion for the stage. Along the way, she faces many challenges and obstacles, including disapproval from her family and society, as well as the harsh realities of life as an actress in a time when women were not allowed to perform on stage. Despite these challenges, Rosalind perseveres and becomes a successful actress, but not without sacrificing some of her personal relationships and facing the consequences of her choices. A Georgian Actress is a compelling tale of a woman's struggle for independence and self-expression in a society that sought to limit her opportunities.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
