Zusammenfassung:"During the long eighteenth century, Great Britain was almost continuously at war. This book describes how playwrights and theater managers of the period discovered and created transformative theatrical and social roles for actresses and wartime women characters. Women characters came to be central figures in bringing the war home to the nation, transforming into deeply patriotic British subjects, and this book interprets them as entertainment and as ideological and propagandistic vehicles in times of crisis"--
Women in Wartime demonstrates the startling acuity and prescience of the repertoire in responding to the war-steeped culture of the period.
