Die Teilnehmerzahl ist auf 25 beschränkt. Bitte melden Sie sich vor Semesterbeginn unter AGNES an. This seminar builds on and deepens the historical, cultural and theoretical context students establish in “Angels, Orphans, Madwomen (Part 1)”. The course will expand the investigation of women’s portrayal in literature by considering further cultural and social issues of the nineteenth and early twentieth century (e.g. the extension of empire, the economics of industrial society, the progress of political and social reform, and debates over women’s roles, rights, and responsibilities). Providing a theoretical focus, the seminar will also offer exercises and room for discussion with regards to academic writing and working with secondary texts (specifically on the topic of gender theory and literary studies). Reading material will be made available on Moodle at the beginning of the semester. |
