Using a variety of methodologies from multi-disciplinary backgrounds, the contributors present in-depth and highly nuanced analyses of the history, politics, and culture of nineteenth century Ottoman Greece and Bouboulina's contributions to the Greek War of Independence. By considering her three-century impact on feminism, cultural production, and as a touchstone of diasporic Greek identity, this volume also expands our understanding of her far-reaching and under-recognized contributions. Given the important role that Bouboulina continues to have in popular culture, this collection is all the more vital in advancing the critical discourse on 1821 and ensuring that Bouboulina occupies a central place in that conversation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eBouboulina 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.\u003c\/p\u003e -- Artemis Leontis, University of Michigan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eA novel and thoroughly overdue examination of a national myth.
