ENG 360 - Studies in 18thCentury British Literature

Institution:

Clark University

Subject:

Description:

Making Gender through the 18th-Century Novel Gender roles became more clearly defined in the eighteenth century. This course traces the construction of masculinity and femininity through the discourses of sexuality, sensibility, and sociability in the eighteenth-century British novel. Through contemporary theory on the construction of subjectivity, sexuality and gender, we will examine the popular forms of the 18th-century novel—adventure, domestic, romance, and pornographic—to understand the ways in which these texts helped to shape perceptions of gender socially and culturally. A student may take this seminar more than once, as long as the topic for the course is different. For undergraduate English majors this course satisfies the Period (C-2) requirement.
