	Prof. Nina Baym: "Mercy Otis Warren's Gendered Melodrama of Revolution"
		After Warren's death her name continued to figure in accounts of the revolutionary era as that of an extraordinary woman; the political content and polemical style of her writings, however, excluded them from any American literary canon whose content was supposed to be transcendent and whose style was supposed to be aesthetic.
		Warren seems to say that the narration is gendered at the discursive level by the authorial refusal to rest content with mere facts, by her evinced desire to go beyond simple notation of event through reflective and judgmental commentary.
		Warren seems to be claiming that her narration is gender-marked by an intellectual seriousness that leads her to move from the scene of carnage to a commentary on the scene's meaning, from narrative to didacticism.

		Mercy Otis Warren was a poet, dramatist, satirist, patriot propagandist, and historian at a time when women, if they wrote, were confined to belle-lettres or religious subject matter.
