Bouboulina and the Greek Revolution

Bouboulina and the Greek Revolution: Interdisciplinary Perspectives on the Heroine of 1821 illuminates the life and times of Laskarina Bouboulina (1771-1825), legendary heroine of the Greek Revolution and one of the most important figures in modern Greek history, the Mediterranean, and indeed, the world. 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.
