Cosmopolitan Women: German-speaking Writers, 1780-1900

This special volume of the respected journal Oxford German Studies, edited by Caroline Bland and Hilary Brown, presents new work by prominent researchers from Europe and North America. The editors’ fully-referenced and refereed scholarly introduction (“Women as Cultural Mediators and Translators”) details the cultural conditions in which women from German-speaking Europe worked as travel writers, reviewers and translators of foreign literature. It also examines the mechanisms which have served to conceal women’s contribution to the dialogue between modern European cultures. Bland and Brown are leading researchers in an ongoing productive network about 18th- and 19th-century women’s writing in German.
