Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
Harriet Bosse, a delicate beauty with rich theatrical talent, wasan inspiration for the prominent and controversial playwright August Strindberg. After their threeyear marriage collapsed, she became his interpreter to the world, guardian of the Strindberg legend.This first biography of Harriet Bosse in English explores her own important career as an actress on the Swedish stage, as well as her influence on Strindbergs work. Waal has separated Harriet Bosse from her romanticized image in the shadow of August Strindberg and has shown her as a person, fascinating and selfsufficient. Her daughterinlaw Randi Wingrd said: 'Harriet was a great personality, and even if she was tiny, one could nothelp noticing her in any gathering. She attracted everyones attention.' While tracing the development of Bosses career, her triumphs and disappointments, Waal chronicles the beginnings of Swedish filmmaking in early silent films as well as four decades of major developments in Swedish theatre.But Bosses marriage to Strindberg and her relationship to his writing are an integral part of her story, and Waal also details the couples stormy marriage, from 1901 to 1903, the reasons for its failure, and the personal and career influences they continued to exert on each other. As Strindbergs inspiration for many literary works, Bosse was alternately vilified and idealized. Much of what Strindberg wrote after meeting Bosse reflects his adoration of her and his despair over the problems of their relationship. She inspired two of his major works of poetry, 'The Golden Eagle' and 'The Dutchman,' in addition to the character of the virgin princess in Swan White. On stage she played eight minor and six major Strindberg roles, including Indras Daughter in A Dream Play and Christina in Queen Christina.Much information for this book is drawn from previously inaccessible sources, including unpublished materials in libraries, archives, and private collections, mostly in Scandinavia. Waal interviewed Strindberg and Bosses daughter Anne Marie Wyller Hagelin (to whom the book is dedicated) as well as other members of Bosses family and a wide range of actors, critics, directors, and scholars. Fortyone photographs are included in the text.
