Reviews
Bouboulina and the Greek Revolution: Interdisciplinary Perspectives on the Heroine of 1821, is a groundbreaking collection of essays that recovers a woman’s life from erasure in the dominant discourses of the Greek Revolution of 1821. Bouboulina's story is so big that it occupies several languages, multiple archives, and diverse sources. Yet she is little known outside a narrow set of philhellenic and Greek national narratives. The essays in this book go beyond these conventional stories to illuminate overlooked gendered, transcultural, and transnational dimensions of the life and reception of Bouboulina and reevaluate her representation. In so doing, the book compellingly charts new directions for the study of the Greek Revolution, the Age of Revolutions and biography. -- Artemis Leontis, University of Michigan Anovel and thoroughly overdue examination of a national myth. This collection restores context and political substance to the most widely celebrated and least understood protagonist in events that shaped the modern world. -- Margarite Poulos, Western Sydney University
