This book series supports the work of the Centre for the Study of
Contemporary Women?s Writing at the Institute of Germanic & Romance
Studies, University of London, by publishing high-quality critical
studies of contemporary literature by women. The main focus of the
series is literatures written in the languages covered by the Centre ?
French, German, Italian, Portuguese and the Hispanic languages ? but
studies of women?s writing in English and other languages are also
welcome. ?Contemporary? includes literature published after 1968, with a
preference for studies of post-1990 texts in any literary genre.

Studies in Contemporary Women?s Writing provides a forum for innovative
research that explores new trends and issues, showcasing work that makes
a stimulating case for studies of new or hitherto neglected authors and
texts as well as established authors. Connections are encouraged between
literature and the social and political contexts in which it is created
and those which have an impact on women?s lives and experiences. The
goal of the series is to facilitate stimulating comparisons across
authors and texts, theories and aesthetics, and cultural and
geographical contexts, in this rich field of study.

Proposals are invited for either monographs or edited volumes. The
series welcomes single-author studies, thematic analyses and
cross-cultural discussions as well as a variety of approaches and
theoretical frameworks. Manuscripts should be written in English.
