Information

Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung

In this interactive course, we will investigate the way in which modern literature and film (re)write the history of lesbian sexuality in the Victorian era. Focusing on an age notoriously reticent about matters of sexuality, the novels and films we will discuss in this class attempt to (re)create narratives of female homosexuality, and to (re)insert them into mainstream historical and/or fictional discourses of the era. In doing so, they do not only uncover hidden aspects of life in the nineteenth century, but also offer fascinating commentaries on modern-day attitudes towards female homosexuality.
