Preparing a Transnational and Internet-based Research Project
in Women's Writing (before 1900)

Three Starting Points for Women's Literary Historiography:

1.
Women’s literature must be approached from a comparative and transnational angle. This corresponds to historical realities too often neglected, such as:

  • parallel developments

e.g.: birth of women’s journalism

  • women's impact and influence transgressing national borders

e.g.: foreign reactions to works of now little known authors, such as Mme Benoist

  • the roles women played as cultural transmitters

e.g.: translating works by other women, as well as by men.

This approach requires international collaboration.


2.
The reception of women’s writing in their own day is considered crucial for any attempt to estimate their historical significance. Authors and texts should be approached from the side of their (international) reception.

3.
This large approach corresponds to present possibilities:

  • online available:
  • possibility to create structures where these information and documents can be assembled per author (ex.: Mme Dunoyer), in a collective enterprise where information and preliminary conclusions are shared and commented.
