This engrossing biography and love story carries the reader into a wonderful world inspired by the power of the imagination. Aside from its extraordinary personal story with its zest, drama, and delightful word-portraits, this book adds new perspectives to the history of American literature during the early 20th century. MacKaye’s circle of friends included many of the writers, actors, inventors and statesman of his time, including Robert Frost, Kahlil Gibran, Isadora Duncan, Thomas Edison, Theodore Roosevelt, and Woodrow Wilson. His meeting late in life with Albert Steffen, and the death of his wife soon afterward, led him to the firm conviction of life after death and the reality of the spiritual worlds. No historical library of American culture is complete without this volume.
