Romantic Women

Undergraduate

This course focuses on the ways that the revolutionary politics of the British Romantic Period (1785 – 1830) amplified and challenged the voices of its women writers. We will interrogate the idea of “Romanticism” and its construction of women through the works of Jane Austen, Charlotte Smith, Mary Robinson, Mary Wollstonecraft, Anna Laetitia Barbauld, Joanna Baillie, Letitia Elizabeth Landon, and others. Prerequisite(s): ENGL 1483-1493 or ENGL 1413 plus ENGL 1423 with a minimum grade of C-. Antirequisite(s): Credit can be obtained for only one of ENGL 2386 or ENGL 2353-2363 (combined).
