- Description
- In this book, the author shows which important women writers Berlin produced between the 18th century and the present. After an introduction to the interplay between women and literature since antiquity, his Lexikon Berliner Writers gives an overview of the development of the female literary scene in this city and introduces around 130 women authors who have lived and worked here. Each of the alphabetically arranged entries describes in a short, concise way the life of the writer concerned and characterizes her literary work.

- Description
- This publication investigates aspects of women's lives, culture, ideas and the history of the book in early modern Italy. Inside a badly damaged copy of Straparola's 16th-century work, ‘Piacevoli Notti’, an inscription is found, attributing ownership to a certain Angelica Baldachini. Focusing as much on the possible owner as upon the thing owned, this book examines the genesis of the ‘Piacevoli Notti’ and its many editions, including the one in question. The intertwined stories of the book and its owner are set against the backdrop of a Renaissance world.

- Description
- This collection is a scholarly study of the pervasiveness and significance of Roxolana (c. 1500–1558) in the European imagination. Roxolana, or ‘Hurrem Sultan’, was a sixteenth-century Ukrainian woman who made a career from harem slave and concubine to legal wife and advisor of the Ottoman Sultan Suleiman the Magnificent (1520-1566). These essays represent an interdisciplinary survey of her legacy. The contributors investigate her image in a variety of sources, ranging from early modern historical chronicles, dramas and travel writings, to twentieth-century historical novels and plays. Also included are six European source texts featuring Roxolana, here translated into modern English. This collection examines Roxolana from both Western and Eastern European perspectives: source material is taken from England, Italy, France, Spain, Germany, Turkey, Poland, and Ukraine.
