Gender, Genre and Nation: Nineteenth-century Swedish Women Writers on Export

• The chapter explores the transnational translation and reception of two Swedish women writers in the nineteenth-century: the romantic poet Julia Nyberg and the bestselling novelist Emilie Flygare-Carlén. As their exemples reveal, the opportunities for the translation and reception of smaller literatures changed in Euope and America during the century. This was due not only to developments in book markets and fluctuations in the political climate, but also to shifting expectation readerships and publication patterns relating to different combinations of genre, nationality and gender.
