In the 1780s and 90s, theatre critics described the stage as a
state in political tumult, while politicians invoked theatre as a
model for politics both good and bad. In this 2001 study, Betsy
Bolton examines the ways Romantic women performers and playwrights
used theatrical conventions to intervene in politics. Reading the
public performances of Emma Hamilton and Mary Robinson through the
conventions of dramatic romance, Bolton suggests that the romance
of national identity developed by writers such as Southey and
Wordsworth took shape in complex opposition to these unruly women.
Setting the conventions of farce against those of sentiment,
playwrights such as Hannah Cowley and Elizabeth Inchbald questioned
imperial relations while criticizing contemporary gender relations.
This well-illustrated study draws on canonical poetry and personal
memoirs, popular drama and parliamentary debates, political
caricatures and theatrical reviews to extend current understandings
of Romantic theatre, the public sphere, and Romantic gender
relations.
