"Blouse Roumaine - the Unsung Voices of Romanian Women"



Dear Colleague,

This transdisciplinary Anthology is now available as an E-Book and I hope that it addresses some aspects of the relationship between literature and politics, gender, historiography, questions of cultural transmission and cross-cultural encounters. This is a very francophone Anthology containing many cross references to Valery, Proust, Cocteau, Colette, Noailles, Bibesco, Ionesco, Cioran, Gheorghiu but also to French movie stars, actors, painters, sculptors, composers, politicians, philosophers - all within a broad European landscape (Britain, Italy, Germany, Austria, Belgium, Romania et al)
I would be most obliged if you were so kind as to send the enclosed information to the interested parties.
Thank you
Kind regards,

Editor
London
