The eighteenth and nineteenth centuries saw an explosion in Europe
of interest in foreign languages and literatures. This book
explores how early generations of women writers formed connections
with each other across national boundaries. The volume sheds light
on female networks spanning Britain, France, Germany, Spain, Italy,
Holland and Denmark. It includes essays on 'virtual' networks, that
is, on women who read, translated or were inspired by the work of
women abroad, as well as essays exploring actual links between
writers of different nationalities, be it through correspondence,
visits or contact in the salons. The essays gathered here engage
with a wide range of published and unpublished sources, from novels
and poetry to autobiography and letters. They discuss writers whose
work is becoming increasingly well known, such as Maria Edgeworth,
Germaine de Stael, Rahel Varnhagen and George Sand, as well as
those who are less familiar. Together, they open up new
perspectives on the activities of these early women of letters and
on the development of the European female literary tradition. The
volume is based on selected papers from a conference held at
Chawton House Library in 2008 in conjunction with the pan-European
'New Approaches to European Women's Writing' research project.
