| Long abstract | This chapter reviews 48 women writers, 1776-1848, from Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway, and Sweden. They speak four different languages (the Finns here wrote in German or in Swedish), and write verse, drama, and prose of various descriptions. They range from aristocrats living at court to oral poets living in rural Iceland, and their aesthetics and politics vary equally widely. |
