Laura Claridge, who explored the lives of notable figures of the 20th century in her biographies, died at 74. Her death was announced in an email from Goldman McCormick Public Relations.
Claridge, a native of Clearwater, Florida, received her Ph.D. from the University of Maryland and went on to teach at Converse College, Wofford College, and the U.S. Naval Academy.
She published her first book, Out of Bounds: Male Writers and Gender(ed) Criticism, in 1990, and followed that up two years later with Romantic Potency: The Paradox of Desire. Her first biography, Tamara de Lempicka: A Life of Deco and Decadence, was published in 1999.
