- Inhalt
- This practical reading course serves as an introduction to views on/by American women during the early stages of the so-called New World (late 17th century – mid 19th century). As the American nation was trying to define an identity of its own, women, but also men, began to speak up for gender equality, emphasizing the various roles of women in American culture. Poetry played a crucial, if not leading, role in these multi-voiced literary debates.
Thus, this class will cover a selection of feminist texts from the 18th and 19th centuries as a basis for understanding women's situation at the time but will mostly focus on images of women presented in American poetry. We will discuss feminist visions by Abigail Adams, Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Margaret Fuller as well as poems about and/or by American women. Our poetry readings will include works by Anne Bradstreet and Emily Dickinson, as well as by Walt Whitman and Edgar Allan Poe, amongst many others.
Therefore, this class not only offers an in-depth discussion of selected views by and of American women but also serves as a compact course and starting point for those students who, in the "Staatsexamen", are interested in extending their reading of early American literature as a focal point for the literature exam.
