ENG 133 - Survey of Women Writers I

Type of Course: Lecture, Discussion
Examines how women writers before 1900 address, confront, avoid, subvert and question traditional notions of gender, culture, domesticity, history, ethnicity and sexuality. Close attention is paid to textual reading, the historical and intellectual context of works, and different critical approaches to women’s writing. Authors include Behn, Burney, Austen, Sedgwick, Chopin, Gilman, Foster and Wilson. For undergraduate English majors and minors, this course partially satisfies the Historical Sequences (A) requirement.

Prerequisites: Verbal-expression course.
