Set of two http://www.aup.nl/do.php?a=show_visitor_book&isbn=9789089641298 >ISBN 978 90 8964 129 8 & http://www.aup.nl/do.php?a=show_visitor_book&isbn=9789089642165 >ISBN 978 90 8964 216 5 Women's Writing from the Low Countries 1200-1875 (19789089641298) This landmark bilingual Dutch-English anthology introduces women's writing in the Low Countries from 1200 to 1875 through a variety of texts characterised by the religious, social, political and feminist engagement of their authors, as well as their extraordinary artistic achievement. Dutch and Flemish female writers produced work of ardent religious passion, ranging from medieval mysticism through the scathing anti-Reformation polemic to pious Anabaptist reflections. Other writers addressed current social and political debates or demonstrated fierce feminist engagement. Talented authors made important contributions to established genres such as the sonnet and the social novel or introduced new ones, like the epistolary novel. This invaluable volume, the first of its kind, explores and illustrates women's historical involvement in the literary world of the Low Countries, their opportunities and hindrances, and the experiences, which found their way into women's texts. Women's Writing from the Low Countries 1880-2010 (19789089641939) This first-of-its-kind anthology offers the English-speaking readers a unique chance to become acquainted with the leading Dutch and Flemish women writers since the 1880s. Covering a representative range of public and private genres from poetry, critical essays, travel literature and political commentary to diaries and journals, the fifty-six texts are arranged chronologically and are accompanied by brief introductions, chronologies, and brief guides to the authors and works. An important contribution to our understanding of modern European literary canon and the long march of feminist history and literature. Amsterdam University Press regrets that in this book on page 195, 2nd paragraph, last sentence, an unfortunate translation of the original Dutch text has been made. The sentence should read : 'Of course Roemer was controversial, with her idiosyncratic, polemical and sometimes virulent views, but she was also controversial because she was able to create a completely unique literary universe.'
