The tragic muse was an equally familiar figure in Victorian British culture, an exotic and alluring Jewish actress whose profession placed her alongside the "fallen woman." In Transatlantic Spectacles of Race, Kimberly Manganelli argues that the tragic mulatta and tragic muse, who have heretofore been read separately, must be understood as two sides of the same phenomenon. In both cases, the eroticized and racialized female body is put on public display, as a highly enticing commodity in the nineteenth-century marketplace. Tracing these figures through American, British, and French literature and culture, Manganelli constructs a host of surprising literary genealogies, from Zelica to Daniel Deronda, from Uncle Tom's Cabin to Lady Audley's Secret. Bringing together an impressive array of cultural texts that includes novels, melodramas, travel narratives, diaries, and illustrations, Transatlantic Spectacles of Race reveals the value of transcending literary, national, and racial boundaries. 606 $aMultiracial women in literature 606 $aTragic, The, in literature 606 $aRace in literature 606 $aJewish women in literature 615 10$aMultiracial women in literature. 615 0$aTragic, The, in literature. 615 0$aRace in literature. 615 0$aJewish women in literature. 676 $a809/.933522 700 $aManganelli$b Kimberly Snyder$01664089 712 02$aAmerican Literatures Initiative. 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910826848803321 996 $aTransatlantic spectacles of race$94021942 997 $aUNINA
