Epistolary Narratives of Love, Gender and Agonistic Politics: An Arendtian Approach

Drawing on archival research and exploring the correspondence of revolutionary women and activists in the long durée of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries in Europe and the USA, this book examines the epistolary narratives of women political theorists and activists, following traces of Hannah Arendt’s philosophical approaches to love.
