Series Editor: Gill Rye, Director, Centre for the Study of
Contemporary Women?s Writing
Institute of Germanic & Romance Studies, University of London

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.
We are pleased to announce two forthcoming titles in Summer 2013
Gill Rye with Amaleena Damle', Experiment and Experience: Women's
Writing in France 2000?2010
Katie Jones, Representing Repulsion: The Aesthetics of Disgust in
Contemporary Women's Writing in French and German
