Women Writing Intimate Spaces
The Long Nineteenth Century at the Fringes of Europe
Series: - Women Writers in History, Volume: 5
The messy and multi-layered issue of intimacy in connection with transnationality and spatiality is the topic of this volume on womenâs writing in the long nineteenth century. A series of intimacies are dealt with through case studies from a wide range of countries situated on the European fringes. Within the field of feminist literary studies, the volume thus differs from other publications with a narrower scope, such as Western Europe or specific regions. More broadly, the chapters in this volume offer a variety of approaches to intimacy and generous bibliographical references for researchers in humanities and cultural studies.
