ENGL 185C

British Women Novelists

Focuses on the ways in which women writers of the 19th and 20th centuries concern themselves with questions of the differences in male and female experience and how those differences affect their writing. Students will study the portrayal in fiction of the evolution of the "modern woman"--with the conflicts between self and other, dependence and independence, love and power that are part of that process.
