Event Description
Alison Booth (Virginia): 'A Network of Trollopes, an Italy of Women: Historical Biography, Nationhood, and Events'
Frances Trollope, Thomas Adolphus Trollope, and his wives, Theodosia Garrow Trollope and Frances Eleanor Trollope, all writers, create a cluster of events - marriage, correspondence, publication, travel, death - in their international circles in Italy. This talk traces their network through A Decade of Italian Women and other collective biographies that emerged from the conjunction of interest in 'Italian' women and in resurgent Italy. Professor Booth will also talk about her database, Collective Biographies of Women and its prototype 'work station', and methodology.
