Description
Susan Egenolf's study, informed by visual culture and a wide range of archival texts, offers a new interdisciplinary reading of gendered and political responses to such key events in the history of Romanticism as the 1798 Irish Rebellion. She examines the artistry and political engagement of Elizabeth Hamilton, Maria Edgeworth, and Sydney Owenson, whose self-conscious use of glosses facilitated their critiques of politics and society and simultaneously revealed the process of fictional structuring.
