"As the conditions for intimate relationships change with society, women have responded to and written on intimacy as a literary topic. The messy and multilayered issue of intimacy in space and time is the topic of this volume on women's reading and writing in the long nineteenth century. The relations between the geographical and cultural centers and peripheries of Europe have still to be reassessed, and our book contributes to this need. By presenting case studies from a wide range of countries situated on various European fringes, it differs from the narrower scope of publications which concentrate only on Western Europe. It is an ambitious project which speaks to a wide academic audience"-- Provided by publisher.
