AMST 30222 - Twentieth-Century American Feminist Fiction

Institution:

University of Notre Dame

Subject:

American Studies

Description:

In this course we will read a number of works, by both women and men, that may be described as feminist fiction. In so doing, we will raise issues about the relation of aesthetics to politics, the process of canonization, and aesthetic integrity. Ultimately, we will also be examining the place of women within American culture during the twentieth century - how it has changed and how it has remained the same. At the end of the course, students should feel that they have discovered a new body of exciting literature, as well as new ways of reading some of our best-known literature.
