10/10 Wrap Up

As stated in class, the new drafts of essay one will be due on Wednesday the seventeenth. Remember to staple the new draft to the old draft (new one on top), remember to work on it everyday between now and then for at least an hour, and feel free to contact me at any time. I'm also usually on campus the hour or so before class, though not necessarily in my office. If you would like to meet before class on Monday, email me and we'll meet. Of course, everyone is free to meet with me after class during regular office hours.

I'm still working out a conference schedule. Check back here for updates.

For Monday's class, read The Marxist-Feminist Collective's 'Women Writing: Jane Eyre...' found in Modern Literary Theory, the Angela Carter piece found to the right, as well as all of the Feminist literary readings (we will get to 'Feminist Thematics and Shakespearean Tragedy' soon, so read as much of that as you can). Then in a 250-400 word response, use specific examples from one of these readings (including the Marxist-Feminist, but not including the Carter, though we'll discuss that one in class quite a bit) to answer the following question: When looking at a literary text, what kinds of details are feminist critics drawn to/interested in? Again, be sure to quote specific examples from the feminist readings.
