| - | Interest in early women writers is on the rise. However, familiarity with their works varies greatly from one country to another, and resources to assess their historical significance remain insufficient. Yet empirical evidence suggests that women writers who are no longer well-known today were in some cases read throughout Europe. Recent studies show that international exchanges took place, creating networks that extended across the European continent and even to the New World. Within this process, translations as well as other forms of cultural transmission (patronage, journalism, etc.) played an important role. | + | <BR> |
| - | Adopting a transnational perspective, our collaborative, database-supported project entitled "New approaches to European Women’s Writing" (NEWW) seeks to provide empirical data to answer various questions. What roles did women authors play in shaping the literary field? Who read their works? How should we assess, within the context of their reception, the strategies women used to establish a claim to legitimacy? How did their readings of other women writers influence their own development as authors? There will be three parts: <br><br> | + | * |
