Ellen and Edy
This volume is a biography of Ellen Terry and her daughter Edith "Edy" Craig. Terry lived during the reign of Queen Victoria when women were required to live according to the strictest of moral codes. She broke the rules of that code, marrying three times, and living with her lover, Edward Godwin by whom she had two illegitimate children. Yet, she demonstrates in her life and in her beliefs the concerns of her age and, despite her huge public fame, she has remained an enigmatic figure. Her daughter, Edith Craig, was a talented theatre producer and costume designer, an advocate of women's suffrage and who lived for most of her life with another woman, Christopher St John. The author focuses on the everyday lives, and the loves, of Ellen and Edy. While she follows Ellen's adventures in England and America and her relations with, among others, Edward Godwin, Henry Irving and George Bernard Shaw, this is above all the story of the stormy, mutually possessive, but ultimately strong and loving bond between a remarkable mother and daughter.

These wrenching changes, following a generation of success, raise numerous questions about the steps th...
