WGST 304 - Sexuality and Gender in 19th Century Literature and Culture4 credits
Explores the complex and shifting understandings of gender and sexuality in the nineteenth-century through reading of the period’s novels, poetry, prose, theoretical texts, and visual images. May include topics such as the construction of heterosexuality and heterosexual marriage; marriage resistance and the ‘new women’; constructions of dominant and deviant masculinities and femininities; homosocial and homosexual love and panics; prostitution and the disciplining of female sexuality, suffrage and the campaigns for women’s autonomy; as well as the codes, narratives, and images through which these are represented. Inquires how gender and sexuality have been deployed by 20th/ 21st century critics as lenses for reading the literature and culture of this period and how those approaches have shifted over time in dialogue with other critical approaches. Same as ENGH 304 . Prerequisite: ENGH 150 or WGST 101 . CLA-Breadth/Humanities, CLA-Writing Intensive, CLA-Diversity International
