Bluestocking Feminism and British-German Cultural Transfer,
1750-1837 examines the processes of cultural transfer between
Britain and Germany during the Personal Union, the period from 1714
to 1837 when the kings of England were simultaneously Electors of
Hanover. While scholars have generally focused on the political and
diplomatic implications of the Personal Union, Alessa Johns offers
a new perspective by tracing sociocultural repercussions by
investigating how, in the period of the American and French
Revolutions, Britain and Germany generated distinct discourses of
liberty even though they were nonrevolutionary countries. British
and German reformists - feminists in particular - used the period's
expanded pathways of cultural transfer to generate new discourses
as well as to articulate new views of what personal freedom,
national character, and international interaction might be. Johns
traces four pivotal moments of cultural exchange: the expansion of
the book trade, the rage for translation, the effect of revolution
on intra-European travel and travel writing, and the impact of
transatlantic journeys on visions of reform. Johns reveals the way
in which what she terms "bluestocking transnationalism" spawned
discourses of liberty and attempts at sociocultural reform during
this period of enormous economic development, revolution, and war.
