Who was Mary Wollstonecraft? (Counterfire, November 13, 2020). “Following the recent controversy around a new statue commemorating Mary Wollstonecraft, Jaqueline Mulhallen looks at the life and times of this radical figure.” See also Lindsey German: Mary Wollstonecraft statue is a poor representation of her radical ideas (Counterfire, November 12, 2020) + Sally Campbell: Mary Wollenstonecraft (Socialist Review, Issue 463, December 2020).

Romantic outlaws. By Claire Fermont (Socialist Review, Issue 406, October 2015). Review of Charlotte Gordon’s book (Hutchinson, 2015, 672 p.). “… a beautifully written book that highlights the grim realities faced by women in 18th and 19th century Europe and, crucially, brings to life women usually presented as ciphers in the biographies of the famous.”

The myth of Mary Wollstonecraft. Chapter 3 in Hal Draper: Women and Class: Towards a Socialist Feminism (Center for Socialist History, 2011, p.85-107; online at Marxists Internet Archive). “In celebrating her pioneer achievements, we should not go beyond the truth. Her pioneer contribution was a Vindication of the Rights of Certain Women. She was not concerned about ‘one half of the human race’, despite the feminist rhetoric, but about her sector of the upper tenth.”

Danton’s Death at the National Theatre. By Ann Talbot (World Socialist Web Site, 2 September 2010). “A review of Danton’s Death by Georg Büchner in a new version by Howard Brenton at the National Theatre in London, directed by Michael Grandage.”

Danton. By Sasha Simic (Socialist Review, Issue 339, September 2009). Review of David Lawday’s /Danton: The Gentle Giant of Terror (Jonathan Cape, 2009, 294 p.). “The weakness of David Lawday’s biography is that he gives us a sanitised Danton, and detests Maximilien Robespierre.” See also review by Hilary Mantel: He roared (London Review of Books, Vol.31, No.15, 6 August 2009). “Lawday writes as if Robespierre, by contrast, was in possession all along of an unshakeable plan, which included the destruction of Danton. He sets up the Danton/Robespierre contest early in the book.”

The big picture: Danton. By Paul McGarr (Socialist Review, Issue 212, October 1997). “Polish director Andrej Wajda’s film Danton (1983) is a masterpiece, albeit a flawed one.”

The trials of Danton. By Chris Harman (Socialist Worker Review, No.90, September 1986). “On the portrayal of Danton in film and drama.”
