Description:

4.00 credits LIT3610 Gender and Economics in Three Nineteenth-Century Novels Advanced Liberal Arts This course explores issues of gender, domesticity, and industry in three nineteenth-century British novels. Jane Austen, Charlotte Bronte, and George Eliot all wrote about men, women, and work (factory work, authorship, domestic management, teaching, matchmaking -- even participation in the marriage market constituted a species of "work"), and they set this gender-based industry against a backdrop of larger economic and cultural concerns. We shall read Emma (Austen), Villette (Bronte), and Middlemarch (Eliot), considering the interplay of domestic and public social spheres and the roles of women and men in an increasingly money-based economy. 3 Intermediate Liberal Arts (LVA, CVA, HSS)
