-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.+Discount 25 % till 31.12.2010; please mention code: 48203<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?

This volume has been prepared in the context of the NEWW collaboration. It has been presented 26 May during a meeting of the network in Turku (Finland). The papers collected here address early modern female authorship from the late Middle Ages to the end of the eighteenth century, ranging geographically from Portugal to Russia, and from Italy to Denmark. In particular, they focus on three themes: the creation of female spaces or communities; women’s appropriation of existing or developing literary genres; and transnational perspectives on early modern women’s writings.
