- W2477541389 abstract "This assessment by Booth’s close friend and contemporary, which was published in the year of Booth’s death, trumpeted the cultural triumph of the genteel middle classes. Dismissing Forrest and, by association, the working-class male, as a soulless animal a half century after Forrest’s theatrical prime suggests a continuing need to champion the validity and primacy of bourgeois masculine values at the expense of alternate manly visions. In this chapter I examine Edwin Booth both as a “feminine” and a “masculine” figure—the latter becoming more and more inflected by the former as his strengths and limitations coalesced into an ideal that was mutually constructed with his middle-class audience. The literal and figurative feminine influence on the American stage brought genteel, middle-class values to both sides of the curtain. Booth’s conception of Hamlet represented the ideals and behaviors of a mid-nineteenth-century gentleman, even as his successful portrayal of stage villains complicated his manly image. Booth’s restrained endurance of personal tragedies reflected Hamlet’s suffering and drew parallels to Abraham Lincoln and the nation in the throes of Civil War. The shift from Forrest to Booth implies a cyclical return to the eighteenth-century mode of masculinity described in chapter 1—built on refinement, repression, and sentiment—but these qualities became more fully assimilated into a distinctly American vision of manhood." @default.
