- Christoph Irmscher is a writer and biographer based in Bloomington, Indiana. He teaches at Indiana University, where he also runs the Wells Scholars Program. His biographies of Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, Louis Agassiz, and Max Eastman have been widely reviewed, winning praise from the New York Times, the Seattle Times, the Christian Science Monitor, the Vineyard Gazette, and the Wall Street Journal. He particularly enjoys archival work. He was the first biographer of the charismatic radical Max Eastman to be given unlimited access to Eastman's voluminous papers, and he will never forget the day when he found Eastman's little notebook recording his visit with Sigmund Freud in 1927.
He is now collaborating with the film historian Cooper Graham on an edition of the letters of the actress Florence Deshon, one of Eastman's (and Charlie Chaplin's) lovers, a smart and rebellious woman who came to resent the male-dominated culture of Hollywood.
Christoph has written reviews for the American Scholar, the Los Angeles Times, the Wall Street Journal, and the Weekly Standard. [retrieved 6/5/2021 from Amazon.com author page]
