| Course contents : | As feminist criticism has shifted towards gender criticism in recent years, masculinity and its representations have become an important subject of debate. We will examine the way masculinity has been interrogated in Jane Austen's Emma, Bram Stoker's Dracula, James Ellroy's My Dark Places, and Peter Carey's The Tax Inspector. The four texts, together with a syllabus of extracts and essays, will allow us to look at different eras and contexts. Whilst necessarily comparing the ways men and women are represented we will also look at class, male bonding, patriarchy, male codes of behaviour, Otherness, empire, and the idea that masculinity is necessarily in permanent crisis. | ||
