Abstract
The correspondence of the actress Auguste Brede (1784–1859) with the well-known intellectual Rahel Levin Varnhagen (1771–1833) allows a unique glimpse into a professional woman’s life during the Romantic period. Because the private letters were not originally written for publication, they permit a fresh perspective on the experience of actresses of the day. This study explores how Brede understood her professional and personal roles in the context of evolving discourses of professionalization, the theater, and the bourgeoisie.
