Abstract

The topic of this collection of essays of international scholars is the anthology Met en zonder lauwerkrans of Dutch and Flemish female authors between 1550 and 1850, published in 1997. Readers are offered the possibility to follow up as well re-appraise problems, theories, possibilities and conventions of the historiography of feminist approaches to literature. The essays introduce women authors, their genres in languages and literatures, many of which are geographically close but also virtually unknown. Comparisons are made, and the question of how to write the history of women’s literature is posed again.
