In looking at the history of collecting, one may be excused for regarding it as an activity in which, traditionally, women have shown little interest or in which they have not been involved. As the present volume shows, women-particularly aristocratic women-not only resisted this discrimination through the ages, but also built important collections and used them to their own advantage, in order to make statements about their lineage, power, cultural heritage or religious preferences. That is...

The essays in this volume analyze strategies adopted by contemporary novelists, playwrights, screenwriters, and biographers interested in bringing the stories of early modern women to modern audiences. It also pays attention to the historical women creators themselves, who, be they saints or midwives, visual artists or poets and playwrights, stand out for their roles as active practitioners of their own arts and for their accomplishments as creators. Whether they delivered infants or governed as monarchs, or produced embroideries, letters, paintings or poems, their visions, the authors argue, have endured across the centuries. As the title of the volume suggests, the essays gathered here participate in a wider conversation about the relation between biography, historical fiction, and the growing field of biofiction (that is, contemporary fictionalizations of historical figures), and explore the complicated interconnections between celebrating early modern women and perpetuating popular stereotypes about them.

Through fifteen essays that work from a rich array of primary sources, this collection makes the novel claim that early modern European women, like men, had a youth. European culture recognised that, between childhood and full adulthood, early modern women experienced distinctive physiological, social, and psychological transformations. Drawing on two mutually shaped layers of inquiry - cultural constructions of youth and lived experiences - these essays exploit a wide variety of sources, including literary and autobiographical works, conduct literature, judicial and asylum records, drawings, and material culture. The geographical and temporal ranges traverse England, Ireland, Italy, France, the Netherlands, Switzerland, Spain, and Mexico from the sixteenth to the eighteenth century. This volume brings fresh attention to representations of female youth, their own life writings, young women's training for adulthood, courtship, and the emergent sexual lives of young unmarried women.

De uitleg van een aantal bekende sprookjes die hier volgt heeft ten doel duidelijk te maken hoe sprookjesmotieven - die Jung, zoals men weet, als archetypische beelden beschouwt - met het praktische leven samenhangen; hoe sterk de archetypen als krachten in het lot van de enkeling ingrijpen en hoe men door kennis van archetypische motieven dromen (eventueel van patiënten) beter kan begrijpen. Door dit 'alledaagse' belang zal kennisneming ook voor een breder publiek interessant zijn. Mijn leerlinge Sybille Birkhaüser heeft zich in haar boek (Die Mutter im Märchen. Stuttgart 1977) geconcentreerd op het moederarchetype. Voor dit boek heb ik voornamelijk sprookjes met andersoortige vrouwelijke problemen gekozen, waardoor deze beide boeken elkaar aanvullen. In deze tijd, waarin veel vrouwen zoeken naar een nieuw begrijpen van hun identiteit, kunnen deze beschouwingen wellicht helpen tot meer inzicht te komen.

Translators’ contribution to the vitality of textual production in the Renaissance is still often vastly underestimated. Drawing on a wide variety of sources published in Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, Latin, German, English, and Zapotec, this volume brings a global perspective to the history of translators, and the printed book. Together the essays point out the extent to which particular language cultures were liable to shift, overlap, shrink, and expand during one of the most defining periods in the history of print culture. Interdisciplinary in approach, Trust and Proof investigates translators’ role in the diffusion of discourse about languages and ancient knowledge, as well as changing etiquettes of reading and writing.
