ENG 260 - Making Gender in Eighteenth-Century British Literature

Type of Course: Seminar
With an understanding that gender roles became more clearly defined in the eighteenth century, this course traces the formation of masculinity and femininity through the discourses of sexuality, sensibility, and sociability in eighteenth-century British literature.  Through contemporary theory on the construction of subjectivity, sexuality and gender, we will explore popular eighteenth-century literary forms - the romance, domestic, memoir and pornographic - to uncover the ways in which these texts helped to shape perceptions of men and women socially and culturally. For undergraduate English majors this course satisfies the Period (C-2) requirement.
