No full textIl saggio s'incentra sulle tournées americane dell'attrice, nata a Jersey, Lillie Langtry, amica di Oscar Wilde and amante del Principe di Galles. Nel quadro del mito Americano (cosi come lo percepisce l'Europa) Langtry gioca un ruolo importante come epitome della bellezza, personaggio della ribalta, donna più che agiata e frequentatrice di milionari, ha un gran numero di fan tanto che una cittadina del far west ne assunse il nome. Langtry, come icona della bellezza, è valutata non come attrice di teatro, ma dalla prospettiva degli studi culturali.This essay focuses on the American tournées of Jersey born actress Lillie Langtry, the friend of Oscar Wilde and lover of the Prince of Wales. Within a narrative of American myths she certainly played an important role: by being a beauty, acting on stage, becoming rich, and being involved with millionaires she ended up with a great number of fans so much so that a far west city was named after her.
Langtry as an icon of beauty is looked at from the perspective of cultural studies

Lillie Langtry in Canada and the U.S.A., 1882-1917
No full textLillie Langtry was the most controversial English stage performer to come to North America during the heyday of theatrical touring, c. 1880-1939. She returned frequently, to have her plays and performances almost invariably damned by critics and frequently by mayors. Yet the public was fascinated by Langtry and made her wealthy by crowding into Canadian and American theatres, attracted in part by rumours of her relationship with Edward, Prince of Wales. Langtry's brief visit to Windsor, Ontario, after The Degenerates was banned in Detroit in April 1900, illustrates the kind of controversy that she frequently aroused.
Lillie Langtry fut l'actrice anglaise la plus controversée qui soit venue en Amérique du Nord durant 1'époque des grandes tournées (1880-1939). Elle revint fréquemment, en dépit des dures recensions qu'essuyèrent généralement tant le répertoire offert que les rôles qu'elle choisit d'interpréter. Malgré I'hostilité dont faisaient montre critiques professionnels et maires de municipalités, le public nord-américain, attiré en bonne partie par les bruits qui couraient sur ses rapports avec le Prince de Galles (le futur Edouard VII), continua d'affluer aux spectacles qu'elle offrait, contribuant ainsi à la rendre fort riche. Le court séjour que fit Langtry à Windsor (Ont.) après que la pièce The Degenerates eut été interdite a Détroit en avril 1900, illustre bien le genre de controverse que Mme Langtry était susceptible de soulever
