LITERATURE 164 - British Feminist Literature.Bilger

Institution:

Claremont McKenna College

Subject:

Description:

In this course we will trace the fortunes of British feminism from the late 17th century to the early 20th century, beginning with early polemics (Judith Dreake and Mary Astell). After studying key Enlightenment feminist texts, we will look at writers such as Mary Wollstonecraft, 19th century feminists, and the modernists, including Virginia Woolf. In order to do justice to the many voices of this wide-ranging tradition, our readings will encompass a variety of genres: dramatics works, poetry, novels, autobiographies, and essays. Offered occasionally.
