Concluding Remarks


The 'Voices in Dialogue' conference represents the “Second Milestone” of the Action - the first one having been presented last year in Madrid. This Milestone has been reached, for a large part, thanks to collaborative work carried out, during this second Action year, within two “Training Schools” (The Hague), and two “Short Time Scientific Missions” (Nancy) and a "Thinktank-meeting" in Gothenburg. During the Chawton conference, the respective outcomes of these were presented.

This conference aimed to develop the quantitative and transnational data gathered during previous meetings and conferences and to move our methodology to a qualitative approach of the data and relevant case studies. Our aims are twofold:

  • As any qualitative approach is multi-paradigmatic in focus, one main question arises: how can we approach the history of women's literature, starting from the material in the database across the period under investigation and across the national/ethnic/cultural boundaries that we have identified? What are the different ideas of femininity, women's writing, and the canon, in different European countries in different historical periods?
  • Does the reception/translation of foreign and perhaps more/less radical women's writing have any measurable impact and how do we evaluate it?

Organisers:

  • Nicole Pohl (Oxford Brookes)
  • Gillian Dow (University of Southampton and Chawton House Library)
