ENG 327A CQ - Woman in the Nineteenth Century

Minimum Credit(s) Awarded: 4
Maximum Credit(s) Awarded: 4

This course looks at writings by and about women in America during the long nineteenth century when the roles and expectations of women were changing dramatically. Before Mary Shelley’s radical novel, Frankenstein (1818), her mother Mary Wollstonecraft published A Vindication of the Rights of Woman (1792) and thereby helped found the modern movement to examine the social and political roles and rights of women. From this point forward, literature by and about women took up the “Woman Question” in a variety of ways. This course contributes to the pre-1865 literature requirement.

Prerequisite(s): W tag.
