Elizabeth Taylor Greenfield's Mid-to-Late Career, Philanthropy, and Activism in Nineteenth-Century America
2022
Overview
Although there is still much that is unknown about Elizabeth Taylor Greenfield's remarkable life, Chybowski successfully establishes Greenfield's rightful position within professional networks of entertainment managers, musicians, students, church leaders, philanthropists, intellectuals, and activists. Having earned a transatlantic reputation for musical performance, taught and mentored a new generation of African American singers, and pursued significant philanthropic work, she also become a cultural leader and earned the respect of the most influential figures of her day. Greenfield had a remarkable ability to both fulfill and disrupt audience expectations, as evidenced not only by her first tour's complicated reception but also by her later American performance career, which was changed by English reviewers and credentials, growing support for abolition, and eventually emancipation. With the knowledge that the mid-1850s was a turning point in E. T. Greenfield's career and that her reliance on patronage early in life eventually yielded a more powerful position of cultural influence in the late 1850s, 1860s, and 1870s, Greenfield's role as groundbreaker seems all the more significant.
