‎11 [The Internationally Famous Jewish Liberated Actress who was Friends with Walt Whitman, Charles Dickens, and George Sand Rare‎

‎INFELICIA‎

‎Philadelphia; New York; Boston; J.B Lippincott 1868. Hardcover. 1st edition first printing of Author's only book. Original Publisher's Cloth Brown cloth cover stamped in gold 16mo 7-124 pages; 15 cm. Singerman 2085 for the 126 page edition. <br> Singerman notes that he the "compiler saw the rarer 124 page edition without the publisher's statement about Dickens. " <br> This is that true rarer first printing dedicated to Charles Dickens but without reproducing his warm letter thanking her as appeared in later printings. <br> The success of this book meant that later editions appeared the same year in London as well as in the US published by Lippincott but with more pages 141 & 126 respectively and with the Dickens letter reproduced. <br> Includes some poems with Jewish themes such as "Judith 'Oh forget not that I am Judith! /And I know where sleeps Holofernes' " "Hear O Israel 'The God of Jacob is our Shield' " etc. <br> <br> Menken 1835-1868 was "Internationally famous for her starring role in the equestrian melodrama Mazeppa in which she was stripped on stage to a flesh-colored body stocking lashed to the back of the 'wild horse of Tartary' and sent flying on a narrow ramp above the theater. Adah Isaacs Menken consistently defied social mores. She cropped her black hair and smoked cigarettes and publicly disparaged conventional married life. Menken represented an early example of the cult of personality blurring her private life with her public persona. <br> She married four times in the course of seven years. Her second marriage in 1859 was to the heavyweight boxing champion of the world John C. Heenan. <br> One of the most glamorous celebrities of the 1860s Menken also cultivated a literary following. She wrote poetry and developed relationships with the likes of Walt Whitman Charles Dickens Dante Gabriel Rossetti Alexandre Dumas and Algernon Swinburne. George Sand was a close friend to the actor and was godmother to Menken's second child. <br> A major bone of contention to this day is the authenticity of her Jewishness. Though scholars have some evidence that Menken was raised a Catholic and converted to Judaism only after marrying her first husband Menken herself once publicly rebuked a journalist who labeled her a convert by announcing that she was 'born in that faith Judaism and have adhered to it through all my erratic career. Through that pure and simple religion I have found greatest comfort and blessing.'<br> Whatever her origins it is clear that Menken was fervently Jewish in her adult life. <br> After moving to Cincinnati with her first and only Jewish husband Alexander Isaacs Menken Adah learned Hebrew fluently studied classical Jewish texts and contributed many poems and essays to The Israelite a weekly founded by Rabbi Isaac M. Wise. Her poems indicate a passionate temperament deeply committed to a kind of proto-Zionism and even messianism. Many are collected in the posthumously published volume Infelicia this volume. <br> Menken viewed herself as a modern Deborah calling on Jews to rise up against persecution in Turkey and protesting the kidnapping of a six-year-old Jewish boy in Bologna by representatives of the Catholic Church. She was one of the few Jews in America to protest when Lionel Nathan was denied the seat in the English Parliament to which he had been elected. And at the height of her acting career she refused to perform on Jewish High Holidays. On her deathbed at age thirty-three suffering from what may have been peritonitis or tuberculosis or both and treated by the personal doctor of Napoleon III Menken was visited by a rabbi. <br> Adah Isaacs Menken died on August 10 1868 in Paris. She is buried in the Jewish section of Montparnasse Cemetery" Ackerman 2014. <br> <br> The book is cited in Podeschi J. B. Dickens & Dickensiana B2952; Wolff R. L. 19th cent.
