ENGL 382A IALC: New England Women (C,G)

This course explores some of the remarkable literary works created by women in nineteenth-century New England. Authors range from the famous (Emily Dickinson, Harriet Beecher Stowe, and Sarah Orne Jewett) to the merely well-known (Julia Ward Howe, Mary Wilkins Freeman, and Charlotte Perkins Gilman) to the undeservedly obscure (Harriet Prescott Spofford, Rose Terry Cooke, Helen Hunt Jackson, Constance Fenimore Woolson, and Carolyn Wells Healey Dall) to the forgotten and/or unpublished (Helen Peabody, Hannah Foster, and the daughters of R. H. Dana).
