About this ebook
Who is your favourite woman writer from the 1800s? Today, many readers are likely to name Jane Austen, but in the 1880s, a common answer across Europe might well have been E. Marlitt. Redrawing Europe’s Literary Map sets out to uncover which female authors reached historical readers ca 1850-1920, based on the analysis of libraries and book collections, serializations in periodicals, literary reviewing, advertisements and translations. This data-rich approach shapes the comparative methodology and overall relational framework adopted in the volume. Its unusual perspective, centring the literary scenes of Finland, the Netherlands, Norway, Slovenia and Spain, provides unique insights into the transnational connectedness of the European literary system around 1900.
