New Orleans born, Ms. Menken (1839?-1868) became a successful actress and migrated to Europe where she became an intimate of Dickens (the dedicatee of this book) Charles Reade, Swinburne, Dumas, etc. Menken's notorious love life insured her attraction on the stage. Known as the "naked lady" for her role in Mazeppa, she was an international star. Although her parentage remainsin doubt, she was probably the daughter of Auguste Theodore, a muatto registered as a "free man of color." [See Collected Black Women's Poetry, edited by Joan Sherman). This collection issued 8 days after her death, prints periodical appearances issued during her life.
