Gender issues have been a persistent topic of investigation in European culture for more than a millennium. Today, perhaps no topic is of more immediate interest to students and scholars than sexual identity. If earlier eras imagined the categories of male and female as fixed, our own age has come to believe that notions of gender are, to a considerable extent, constructed by society and thus necessarily unstable. Using current understandings of sexuality, the contributors to this collection examine afresh such diverse works as Augustine’s Confessions, the Old English Beowulf, the French Richard Coer de Lyon, German mæren, Chrétien’s Yvain, writings by Wyclif and other Lollards, the poetry of Aemelia Lanyer, and an Italian portrait by Leonardo da Vinci. As the authors of this collection demonstrate, these thinkers persistently challenged the status quo, questioning assumptions felt as facts. In turn, they demonstrate how the medieval and Renaissance writers who are the subject of these essays helped prepare the way for understanding masculinity and femininity as masculinities and femininities.

Au cours des trois derniers siècles, bien des femmes ont participé à la circulation transnationale des idées. Nombre d'entre elles se sont attachées à déchiffrer d'autres cultures ou à représenter des identités plurielles, souvent en se situant sur des frontières linguistiques. Leurs activités littéraires ont pu produire des perspectives inédites déplaçant les rôles masculins et féminins, ou au contraire confirmer des normes de genre existantes. En présentant une série d'approches critiques permettant d'analyser ces politiques du genre, ce volume contribue à une histoire littéraire des écrivaines «entre les langues». Ce volume est issu du réseau européen New approaches to European Women's Writing (NEWW). Ce réseau est organisé autour d'une base de données consacrée à la réception internationale des écrivaines avant 1900. Il réunit des chercheurs et chercheuses préparant un renouvellement de l'historiographie littéraire à partir d'une perspective transnationale et de genre, qui met l'accent sur la circulation des écrits féminins dans l'espace européen (http://www.womenwriters.nl). During the last three centuries, many women participated in the transnational circulation of ideas. Some of them engaged in the task of deciphering other cultures or representing plural identities, often situating themselves on linguistic boundaries. Their literary activities may have produced new perspectives displacing male and female roles or on the contrary confirmed existing gender norms. By presenting a range of critical approaches that help analyse these gender politics, this volume contributes to a literary history of women writers «between languages». This volume is an output of the European scholarly network NEWW (New approaches to European Women's Writing). This network is organised around a database documenting the international reception of women writers before 1900. It brings together scholars preparing a renewal of literary historiography from a transnational and gender perspective, highlighting the circulation of women's writing across Europe.
