The Shakespeare Riots : Revenge, Drama, And Death In Nineteenth-century America

Attribution
Nigel Cliff
Publication Details
Book, 1st ed, Random House, 2007
Links
Description
One of the bloodiest incidents in New York?s history, the so-called Astor Place Riot of May 10, 1849, was ignited by a long-simmering grudge match between the two leading Shakespearean actors of the age. Despite its unlikely origins, though, there was nothing remotely quaint about this pivotal moment in history?the unprecedented shooting by American soldiers of dozens of their fellow citizens, leading directly to the arming of American police forces. In this wondrous saga Nigel Cliff immerses readers in the bustle of mid-nineteenth-century New York, re-creating the celebrity demimonde of the day and capturing all the high drama of a violent night that robbed a nation of its innocence.
