OBJECTIVES
The principal aim is to provide a historical perspective on the situation of women and women writers in the eighteenth
century. We will study the historical background of the construction of femininity and discuss women's contribution to
period literature. A range of genres will be examined, with a focus on the short novel and poetry. Throughout the course
women's writing will be viewed in close connection to the established canonical texts, and as an inherent part of the broad
eighteenth-century literary spectrum.

ASSESSMENT
Active participation in the course, one oral presentation (analysis of critical source), an essay on a chosen topic.
