Course Description:
This module examines the evolution of women’s literature from the 19th to the 20th century
through a study of selected texts by Anglophone women writers. Coventry Patmore’s “The
Angel in the House” (the only text studied written by a man) serves as the background
against which we will study a variety of texts written by women writers that respond to
and deconstruct this female portrait, gradually “killing the Angel” and working to create
new fictional portraits and a new discourse for women and women’s literature.
