The next and final Birkbeck Forum for
Nineteenth-Century Studies event of the term will feature Alison Booth
(Virginia) presenting on "A Network of Trollopes, an Italy of Women: Historical
Biography, Nationhood, and Events" from 6:00-8:00pm on Monday 10 June 2013.
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.

the Keynes Library (Room 114, School of Arts, 43 Gordon Square, London, UK,
WC1H 0PD). All sessions are free and welcome to the public.
For those
interested, please feel free to join Alison Booth for dinner at Carluccio's
after the talk.
