About this item

by Adam Green (Author)

If you were to summarize the life of Lola Montez in a sentence, it would probably read something like this; Lola Montez was an Irish dancer from the 19th Century. Sure enough, she was all of those things. But there was much more to her than that. The woman who would become known as Lola Montez grew up in poverty in Ireland but she ascended to the heights of royalty, becoming a Bavarian Countess. She achieved this with nothing more than her own wit and charm. After rising to the top, she managed to use her powers of persuasion to champion liberal reforms. Such things were unheard of at the time but, for Lola, it was all part of the game. However, soon enough she overplayed her hand and had to move on. Fortunately for her, she was agile enough to do it. Because all throughout her turbulent life-no matter the circumstances-she was always able to gracefully make her exit and move forward with the ease and sense of impeccable timing that only a dancer could know.
