Der Band Women from the Parsonage hat eine klare Struktur, die mit vergleichbaren Parametern die Bildung untersucht, die es Pastorentöchtern im 19. Jahrhundert ermöglichte, sich über die Limitationen, wie Zugang zu Wissen, intellektueller Teilhabe und schriftstellerischer Taetigkeit, hinwegzusetzen.Vereint werden aktuelle Ansätze aus Geschichtswissenschaft, gender studies, Intersektionalitätsforschung und Psychobiografie. This volume provides a new context for women’s writing from the seventeenth through the end of the nineteenth century, highlighting the significant role of the parsonage and the parson himself for women’s education in those centuries. Cindy K. Renker and Susanne Bach's collection of essays is the first of its kind on the education, lives, and works of highly accomplished daughters of Protestant clergymen. Since this volume only represents a limited number of women raised and educated in parsonages, it will surely encourage more investigation of other women writers, translators, educators, etc. with similar backgrounds. Moreover, since this book takes a comparative and transnational approach by focusing on different regions of Europe and different centuries. This collection of essays is thus aimed at scholars in multiple fields such as British literature, German studies, gender studies, the history of women’s education, and social and cultural history.
