Produktbeschreibung

Noble Lives: Biographical Portraits of Glenway Wescott, Aaron Copland, and Dag Hammarskjöld examines how sexual orientation affected the careers of two historical figures generally accepted as gay, and a third whose sexual identity was in constant question during his lifetime. This unique book features comprehensive biographical accounts of Jazz Age author Glenway Wescott, Academy Award-winning composer Aaron Copland, and Nobel Peace Laureate Dag Hammarskjöld, addressing the relationship between their sexuality and their achievements in literature, the social sciences, musical composition, diplomacy, and global politics. Noble Lives is the first English-language text to thoroughlyand objectivelyexplore the troubled sexuality of Sweden's Hammarskjöld, the former Secretary-General of the United Nations.
