The Other Voice in Early Modern Europe
|
||
|
|
In early modern Europe (about 1400 to about 1700), women began to write and sometimes publish in their native languages, and their writing established the presence of female voices for the first time in world history. They wrote in many genres (dialogues, essays, letters, plays, poems, treatises) and in their native languages—Danish, Dutch, English, French, German, Italian, Latin, Polish, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish, and Ukrainian. At the same time, they pressed for a wider recognition of women’s intellectual and moral capacities, a campaign in which they were joined by a few male advocates and defenders.
The series “The Other Voice in Early Modern Europe,” co-edited by Margaret L. King and Albert Rabil, Jr., Co-Editor, English Texts: Elizabeth H. Hageman, established itself at the University of Chicago Press where, between 1996 and 2010, 60 volumes were published in the series. As the Chicago list reached its end, the editors found a new publisher at the Centre for Reformation and Renaissance Studies (CRRS) and Iter, both at the University of Toronto. Titles that had been on the Chicago list were moved to the Toronto list and a new co-editor was added, Elizabeth Hageman, to develop an English list for the series. The Toronto list currently stands at 120 volumes, and the combined Chicago and Toronto lists at 180 titles, the vast majority by women. The first CRRS/Iter series publication appeared in late 2009, and by the end of 2012 20 had been published and 8 are currently at various stages in press. This website lists all books from both series. As books are published their cover images are added. A click onto a cover image makes possible the ordering of that book. Each book published in the Chicago series included a series editors’ introduction and a bibliography of books by and on early modern women. Neither is included in CRRS/Iter publications, but the introduction and a much expanded bibliography are available on this website and can be accessed as pdf documents. The bibliography will be kept up to date and expanded on a continuing basis. The website now has a name that describes it: www.othervoiceineme.com. Share it with colleagues and students. |
