In this course students will learn about women authors such as Aphra Behn, Ann Finch, Elizabeth Wortley Montagu, Phillis Wheatley, Anne Radcliffe, and Jane Austen, and consider their contemporary resonance. Students will explore such topics as female authorship, romance and the gothic, and intersections of gender, race, and colonialism. Students will develop their ability to read period texts closely and to communicate their understanding through different written forms.

This is a really wonderful course! Dr. Fraser Easton did a great job of making it engaging despite it being offered online. It's not hard to do well, just make sure you attend classes.
