| Sumario: | Redefines Mary Wollstonecraft as a multi-lingual cosmopolitanDefines Wollstonecraft as a cosmopolitan thinkerExamines her engagement with European writersAnalyses her translations as creative rewritings of their source textsConsidering her transformation of material from the works of European writers and orators such as Rousseau, Mirabeau, Felicité de Genlis, Christian Gotthilf Salzmann and Margareta de Cambon, as well as British sentimental philosophers and the radical theologian Richard Price, this book argues that Wollstonecraft espouses a cosmopolitan ethic that subordinates local and national allegiances to philanthropy, or love of humankind. At a time of international conflict, burgeoning capitalism and colonial enterprise, she represents philanthropy and cultural authenticity as the means to resist tyranny and imperialism in all their forms and light the way to global justice. |
