  • Women's Writing in Britain 1660-1830.
    15-17 JULY 2024
    UNIVERSITY OF SOUTHAMPTON AND CHAWTON HOUSE LIBRARY

    This conference has been jointly organized by the University of Southampton English Department and Chawton House Library to mark the opening of the Library in Summer 2003. It will explore the remarkable phenomenon of female authorship in Britain across the 'long eighteenth century', discussing new directions for research in the field, and examining the legacy and afterlife of work by 18th-century women writers, including not only its analysis in biography, literary criticism, and social history but its remembrance and reinvention through film and television adaptation.
