A Cincinnatian’s “Bohemian Rhapsody”
Posted by Justin Jeffre
The Columbus Dispatch gave a nice-straight to the point-review of a new book by University of Cincinnati professor Mark A. Lause, The Antebellum Crisis & America’s First Bohemians. The Dispatch describes it as an introduction to a clique of pre-Civil War New York writers, artists, musicians and actors—radical in both lifestyle and politics—dubbed themselves “bohemians” and exerted an influence on American society that has long been underappreciated.
The radical group would often discuss abolition, labor reforms and women’s rights. They included journalists, actors, social and political activists and even a literary icon, Walt Whitman.
Congrats to friend of the Beacon Dr. Mark Lause for keeping this history alive and for the rest of your work in your field. It is too bad there’s not a review from the Cincinnati Enquirer.
