Bolton examines the ways Romantic women performers and playwrights used theatrical conventions to intervene in politics. This well-illustrated 2001 study draws on 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.
