WMST 4370 - Nature and Women in the American Novel

Institution:

Texas A & M University-Kingsville

Subject:

Women's Studies

Description:

3(3-0) Nature and women have been problematic for American society and, thus, American literature. Nature has been seen both as an early Hell populated by Indian "devils" and as a second Garden of Eden. Similarly, as a group, women have been regardedboth as latter-day Eves and as "angels in the house." This course will address these two topics and show the development ofthe themes concerning them. Students will understand something of the role of nature and of women (as a class) in shaping and refl ecting American thought and values. (Credit may not be obtained in both ENGL 4370, when taught from a women's studies perspective and WMST 4370.)
