商品簡介
In this case study of the British writer Elizabeth Hamilton (1756-1816), Grogan (English, Bishop's U., Canada) aims to shed light on the limitations of strict Jacobin/Anti-Jacobin framework of interpretation of the political positions concerning the rights and capabilities of women held by writers of the era through a study of how Hamilton's writings resist such interpretation. In addition to attacking the Jacobin/Anti-Jacobin interpretive framework, she seeks to demonstrate that writers of the 1790s and early 1800s did not see politics as rigidly as contemporary academics suggest, but that many writers in the middle of the political spectrum, such as Hamilton, held political allegiances in ways that disturb modern political sensibilities.
