Abstract

"The central aim of this interdisciplinary book is to make visible the intentionality behind the 'forgetting' of European women's contributions during the period between the two world wars in the context of politics, culture and society. It also seeks to record and analyse women's agency in the construction and reconstruction of Europe and its nation states after the First World War, and thus to articulate ways in which the writing of women's history necessarily entails the rewriting of everyone's history. By showing that the erasure of women's texts from literary and cultural history was not accidental but was ideologically motivated, the essays explicitly and implicitly contribute to debates surrounding canon formation. Other important topics are women's political activism during the period, antifascism, the contributions made by female journalists, the politics of literary production, genre, women's relationship with and contributions to the avant-garde, women's professional lives, and women's involvement in voluntary associations. In bringing together the work of scholars whose fields of expertise are diverse but whose interests converge on the inter-war period, the volume invites readers to make connections and comparisons across the whole spectrum of women's political, social, and cultural activities throughout Europe."--Provided by publisher.

Abstract

"Ce volume contient un riche échantillon d'études sur des textes de femmes et sur l'auctorialité féminine. Elles concernent des périodes et des littératures différentes, et des genres aussi différents que des mémoires, des écrits religieux et des prophéties, des journaux de voyage et des articles parus dans la presse, et surtout bien sûr des fictions narratives : nouvelles, histoires-cadres et romans 'sentimentaux, épistolaires, orientaux, anthropologiques ... Quelque différents qu'ils soient, les ouvrages étudiés ont en commun non seulement d'avoir été écrits par des femmes, mais 'pour la plupart 'de comporter en outre, sous une forme ou une autre, de la narration au féminin. Ils présentent donc des perspectives féminines sur le vécu féminin. La discussion de ces diverses perspectives contribue à faire avancer notre compréhension du rôle qu'ont pu prendre des auteures à l'intérieur de l'espace public."

Abstract

Economic Imperatives for Women’s Writing in Early Modern Europe delves into the early modern history of women’s authorship and literary production in Europe taking a material turn. The case studies included in the volume represent women writers from various European countries and comparatively reflect the nuances of their participation in a burgeoning commercial market for authors while profiting as much from patronage. From self-representation as professional writers to literary reception, the challenges of reputation, financial hardships, and relationships with editors and colleagues, the essays in this collection show from different theoretical standpoints and linguistic areas that gender biases played a far less limiting role in women’s literary writing than is commonly assumed, while they determined the relationship between moneymaking, self-representation, and publishing strategies.
