- Inhalt
- Before Suzanne Collins' Katniss Everdeen, Veronica Roth's Beatrice
Prior and even Wonder Woman in the twentieth and early twenty-first
Centuries, a select group of literary women paved the way to our contemporary heroines and without power or superhuman abilities were
able to bend or transcend their, then, rigid and limited gender roles.
The main focus of this course lies in the representation of gender in
Victorian and Puritan Literature, thus, we will analyse the gradual
changes that have happened in the portrayal of “womanhood” in literature, the various degrees of masculinity and femininity in the behaviour of female characters (psychological androgyny) such as: Austen’s Lizzy Bennet, Brontë’s Jane Eyre, Hardy’s Bathsheba Everdene,
Hawthorne’s Hester Prynne and Defoe’s Moll Flanders; also how their fashion influences (positive or negatively) their image, their journey to become heroines and the impact of their image in the education
of young and adult female audiences.
In addition to the above mentioned prose, the poetry of William Blake
and his portrayal of women will also be of interest to this course.
