The Palgrave Encyclopedia of Romantic-Era Women's Writing

Zusatztext

The Palgrave Encyclopedia of Romantic-Era Womens Writing provides a comprehensive map of the dynamic trans-Atlantic and cross-Channel cultural developments that helped form womens texts, both manuscript and print, from 1770-1837. The entries cover not only poetry and novels but also womens contributions to fields such as philosophy and science. The entries themselves are organically inter-disciplinary, since poets, for example, were translating works of natural philosophy, and political commentators were writing novels. In a period before the compartmentalization of intellectual disciplines, many women contributed to multiple fields of knowledge. The encyclopedia crosses national boundaries, as well as disciplinary ones, charting cultural expressions arising from continental Europe, Africa, and the Americas, as well as the British Isles.    Section Editors: Alicia Kerfoot - SUNY BrockportShelley King - Queen's UniversityElisabeth Lenckos - Emerita, University of ChicagoAmy Culley - University of LincolnKathryn Ready - The University of WinnipegFiona Price - University of ChichesterSusanne Schmid - Freie Universität BerlinTonya Moutray - Russell Sage CollegeThomas Crochunis - Shippensburg University
