Abstract
Abstract:I retrace Anne Sancho's creative life in letters through the legacy of her husband, Ignatius Sancho, and the production history of Paterson Joseph's play, Sancho: An Act of Remembrance. An earlier version of the play features an epilogue centered on Anne, but recent productions replaced the epilogue with a commemoration of her husband's historic vote. I consider the erasure of Anne from productions of Sancho in relation to historical framings centered on nationally-bounded stories of inclusion and bourgeois individualism. Anne's presence-absence unsettles these framings and, at the same time, insists that we confront how the U.S. imperial present conjures the British imperial past.
期刊介绍:
Studies in Romanticism was founded in 1961 by David Bonnell Green at a time when it was still possible to wonder whether "romanticism" was a term worth theorizing (as Morse Peckham deliberated in the first essay of the first number). It seemed that it was, and, ever since, SiR (as it is known to abbreviation) has flourished under a fine succession of editors: Edwin Silverman, W. H. Stevenson, Charles Stone III, Michael Cooke, Morton Palet, and (continuously since 1978) David Wagenknecht. There are other fine journals in which scholars of romanticism feel it necessary to appear - and over the years there are a few important scholars of the period who have not been represented there by important work.
