ENGL 362A Victorian Women Writers
ENGL 362A Victorian Women Writers (3) The Victorian era was a time of sweeping change and intense debate with regard to women's roles, opportunities, and participation in literary culture. This course explores some of the ways that Victorian women negotiated what was dubbed "the woman question," particularly in relation to domesticity, education, creativity, marriage, sexuality, and identity. It examines texts by canonical writers (such as Browning, Eliot, and Gaskell) but gives particular attention to once-popular writers who are less well-known today.
