AS 060.147 - Women and Print Culture in the 19th Century

Institution:

Johns Hopkins University

Subject:

Description:

How did 19th century women lay claim to the authority of print—and why did they at times refuse it? We will examine a variety of forms that American and British women used to navigate print culture from about 1820 to 1900: sentimental novels, newspaper poetry, gift books, periodicals, diaries and scrap-books. Classes will focus on close investigation of manuscripts and rare books and will meet at the 19th-century Peabody Library, accessible by shuttle.
