This module continues the chronological survey of debates surrounding women, writing and gender begun by EN5115. The module examines continuity and change in constructions of gender across the period 1800 to the present. Students will be introduced to key critical readings of nineteenth-century women's writing, before moving on to consider the work of modernist writers and a range of contemporary writers whose rewriting of history and myth engages with current debates in gender theory.
