- Description
- A literary coterie in eighteenth-century Philadelphia - Elizabeth Fergusson, Hannah Griffitts, Deborah Logan, Annis Stockton, and Susanna Wright - wrote and exchanged poems and maintained handwritten books of memorabilia, and initiated a salon culture. The author shows that these female writers sought to memorialize their lives and aesthetic experience. She discusses how the group used their writings to explore and at times replicate the arrangement of their material possessions. The author focuses on vernacular architecture, penmanship, souvenir collecting, and mourning.

women writing the end of the British empire

- Description
- Colonial Strangers shows how interpretations of the postcolonial must confront World War II and the Holocaust. Phyllis Lassner’s analysis reveals how writers such as Muriel Spark, Olivia Manning, Rumer Godden, Phyllis Bottome, Elspeth Huxley, and Zadie Smith insist that World War II is critical to understanding how and why the British Empire had to end. .Drawing on memoirs, fiction, reportage, and film adaptations, Colonial Strangers explores the critical perspectives of writers who correct stereotypes of British women as agents of imperialism. They also question their own participation in British claims of moral righteousness and British politics of cultural exploitation. These authors take center stage in debates about connections between the racist ideologies of the Third Reich and the British Empire.

- Description
- In this final volume of her trilogy on female genius (Hannah Arendt: Malanie Klein), Kristeva employs her psychoanalytic prowess to prove why the French author of Cheri and Gigi deserves such intellectual distinction. A writer, dancer and sexual gourmand, Colette was the sort of woman who took boxing lessons in order to acquire 'the most vicious punch possible.' Seducing both male and female lovers , the thrice married and intensely prolific aesthete ignored the sexual mores of her time and sublimated her lifestyle in a lyrical prose that Kristeva equates with the light-filled palettes of Poussin and Watteau. After breezing through the author’s life, Kristeva launches into a close reading of all seven movements to 1905’s Tendrils of the Vine (even breaking down the title by its vocal vibrations) and proceeds to scrutinize Colette’s strained relationship with her mother, Sido.

- Description
- This book aims to collect and present the results of research done within the context of the project 'The voice of silence / La voz del silencio: An interdisciplinary research project about literate women and women authors in the West-European late Middle Ages from a gender perspective'. In the course of the twelfth and thirteenth centuries, the voices of women authors, many of them religious and mystics, resounded again in a literate society dominated by clerics. Two of the most famous representatives of this 'female voice', Hadewych and Hildegard von Bingen, are highlighted in Part I. These women were the forerunners of a new reading culture among (semi-) religious and even lay women in which the use of the vernacular was a decisive factor. From the thirteenth century onwards men once more tried to get a grip on women's reading and writing .
