Charlotte Being a True Account of an Actress's Flamboyant Adventures in Eighteenth-Century London's Wild And Wicked Theatrical World

"The great strength here is Shevelow's refusal to flatten out and pigeonhole the dazzling Charlotte. In her hands, Charke is not just a famous actress, nor a strong woman in an age of patriarchy, nor simply an excuse to talk about the history of sexual identity. She is all of these....Shevelow admirably situates Charlotte's singular life in larger currents and contexts."Shevelow, Kathryn is the author of 'Charlotte Being a True Account of an Actress's Flamboyant Adventures in Eighteenth-Century London's Wild And Wicked Theatrical World', published 2006 under ISBN 9780312425760 and ISBN 0312425767.
