(3,5 Sterne; 3 Bewertungen)
Art or politics, this is the question Nick Dormer dealls with in the course of this novel. Mirian Ruth, an aspiring actress, is the "tragic muse" of the title. Her concerns are a bit different: would proper society accept her as an actress, or would she have to choose between giving up acting and marrying well? A large and interesting cast of secondary characters accompany them along the way, for good or bad. This novel is for lovers of Trollope and Dickins, while James's sharp and keen observations and wit are there at all times. Enjoy a stroll in the park listening to this overlooked masterpiece.

the Tragic Muse is tragic

This wordy and obtuse James story is tragically dry and boring. I gave up before I was half way through. Plus the principle readers are not up the the demands of the dialog. The narration is choppy making the plot all but incoherent. Don’t waste your time
