The Arms-Bearing Woman and British Theatre in the Age of Revolution, 1789-1815
This book explores shifting representations and receptions of the arms-bearing woman on the British stage during a period in which she came to stand in Britain as a striking symbol of revolutionary chaos. The book makes a case for viewing the British Romantic theatre as an arena in which the significance of the armed woman is constantly remodelled and reappropriated to fulfil diverse ideological functions.
