Information
Aims, contents and method of the course
This course will explore the radical interrogation and rewriting of the dominant culture which can be discerned in the literature by contemporary Jewish women writers in Great Britain. The main focus will be on the question of how 'Jewishness' is being constructed in English literature and society, how the concept of 'Englishness' is arrived at in the novels under discussion and which part memory plays in the writing strategies of the authors concerned. Texts by Bernice Rubens, Anita Brookner, Eva Figes, Esther Freud and Diane Samuels will be discussed as well as works by Amy Levy (1861-1889), a writer from the Victorian era.
Assessment and permitted materials
Regular attendance, participation in class discussions of set texts, oral presentations, final written essay (10 pages).
Minimum requirements and assessment criteria
This course will introduce students to the history of British Jewish literature and culture. It intends to provide students with critical knowledge of and sensitivity to cultural constructions and stereotypes and to familiarise course members with literary theory, especially with the aspects of gender and the connections between literary writing and memory.
Examination topics
discussions of set texts in small groups as well as by all members of the seminar, short presentations on particular aspects of the topics under discussion.
