CFP<\/strong>: Literary Women: Global Encounters, Interventions and Innovations, 1750-1830 , Special Issue of The Wenshan Review of Literature and Culture<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

(*** Deadline extended to 31st <\/sup>March 2022 ***)<\/strong>,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Guest Editors:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dr Yi-cheng Weng (National Taiwan University, Taiwan)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dr Gillian Dow (University of Southampton, UK)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The previous decades have seen the publications of stimulating and ground-breaking works that seek to recuperate and reconsider British women writers of this period. Literary criticism and feminist literary history have celebrated the existence and achievement of women writers, and shown that they were crucial participants in facilitating changes, transitions, and innovations in social and cultural movements, as well as literary styles. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This special issue, the first to focus on women\u2019s writing in The Wenshan Review of Literature and Culture<\/em>, isscheduled to be published in June 2023<\/strong>. We invite essays of 6000-10000 words, that explore the diversity of women\u2019s writing in the latter half of the long eighteenth century, when \u2013 in Britain at any rate \u2013 women writers were entering the literary marketplace in increasing numbers. Inspired by past scholarship on women\u2019s writing, and especially narratives about women\u2019s roles as negotiators and innovators that have consistently shaped our understanding of their work, the editors are keen to take advantage of the internationally collaborative nature of this special issue. We seek papers that explore perspectives on how women writers engaged in conversations about questions of politics, gender, war, nation, history, and art in Britain, continental Europe, and beyond. By looking across borders, and inviting contributions from colleagues working in a variety of institutional settings across the globe, we hope to weave together multitudinous narratives and responses to key cultural and literary developments of the age. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
