Authorship, Gender and Embodiment in Shakespeare's Time

(4 Credit Hours) · Undergraduate

As part of this seminar, we will study the various ways in which women and men of letters of the Elizabethan and Jacobean period (late sixteenth, early seventeenth centuries) used the materiality of writing in all its forms to construct their gendered identities: manuscripts, printed texts, organic materials, objects, architectural buildings, etc. came to inhabit the texts and give them body.
