| Long abstract | This chapter reviews five women writers, 1776-1848, from Albania, Bulgaria, Greece, Romania, and Serbia: the territories of Ottoman Europe prior to the region’s various wars of independence. These writers write in five languages – none writing in Turkish, which indicates a certain independence from the regional authority. Here is another empire doomed to breakup with a century of this revolutionary period. Writers here include poets, novelists, dramatists, and writers for pamphlets and the press. For Albania and Bulgaria, no women writers were identified in this period – a spur to future research. |
