Entangled Dreams and Cross-cultural Encounters
Series: - Studies in Periodical Cultures, Volume: 5
Author:
Fredrika Bremer (1801â1865) reached out to the world beyond her native Sweden. Her promotion of womenâs emancipation was celebrated and pursued by Sophie Adlersparre (1823â1895), Rosalie Olivecrona (1823â1898), and Alma Ã
kermark (1853â1933). From dreams to projects involving collaboration with Britain, France, and Germany, in translation, literature, and periodical editing, this book unearths exciting transnational connections that contributed to the awakening of the Nordic feminist movement. Shedding light on the circulation of liberal ideas, Marxist theory, and the Nordic debate, the three chapters of the book focus on cultural variation, constructive conflicts, mutual (mis)understandings, and class issues.
Eloïse Forestier is an FWO postdoctoral researcher at Ghent University, Belgium, where she obtained her Ph.D. in literary studies in 2020.
The book will appeal to scholars and students interested in womenâs history, feminism, Scandinavian studies, literary studies, and periodical studies. It is also accessible for a non-specialized audience.
