Division I
This course is not offered in the current catalog
Class Details
What did it mean to publish–or not–“as a woman” in seventeenth- and eighteenth-century France? Why did writers adopt or reject a feminine pen name at a time of women’s legal, economic, and social subordination? Readings from Scudéry, La Fayette, Guilleragues, Graffigny, Gouges, and Duras will be informed by contemporary theoretical and historical work on gender, authorship, and women’s participation in political, religious, and public life. Conducted in French.
