Learning Outcomes
The course will provide the students with an overview of contemporary theories of auto/biography; an introduction to the political and religious history of the period; and a detailed knowledge of a range of texts by early modern women writers. By the end of the course, students should be able to engage with critical debates concerning generic classifications (for example, what is the difference between a diary and a memoir? Is the term self-writing more appropriate than auto/biography in the early modern period?); be alert to the political and religious codes deployed in these texts; and be able to produce nuanced readings of the set texts.
