Section Title:
Early Mod Women Writers
Section Info:
Topic Section X: Early Modern Women Writers in England (Sixteenth-Seventeenth Centuries) This course will serve as an introduction to early modern women?s writing from the sixteenth to the early eighteenth century. We will sample a variety of literature written by women, focusing both on close textual analysis and cultural context. The course will begin with a very brief introduction to the position of women in this period, and then move quickly on to detailed readings of primary texts. We will trace the dominant themes, identities, and forms of these works, focusing in particular on how women authors repeat, revise or rebel against the gender norms and societal expectations of their day. Readings will probably include poetry by Elizabeth I and Mary Wroth, drama by Margaret Cavendish and Aphra Behn, and an early novel by Eliza Haywood.
