Helen Williams will speak about ‘Sarah Hodgson’s Arabic Bible: Gender, Empire and the History of the Book’. The talk centres on printer-publisher Sarah Hodgson, who produced a Bible in Arabic in Newcastle in 1811, fighting off the Oxford dons to keep it in the north.
It provides a reading of Hodgson’s autobiographical manuscripts while tracing her work’s dissemination across the Mediterranean world, reflecting on the challenges of feminist recovery and women’s book history through both a provincial and global lens.
