Kommentar/Beschreibung

This course takes a closer look at the literary north of England as portrayed in contemporary women's writing. Northern England is often treated as an internal 'other' within English national consciousness and political history and subjected to stereotypes many of which are traceable to the region's industrial history, working-class and neglect during the Thatcher era. In this course, we will attempt to locate 'the North' geographically, conceptually and imaginatively by considering its representation in a range of literary works ranging from psychogeographical poetry to gothic fiction. Taking into account the complex histories and current political debates in the region, we will discuss literary representations of gender, sexuality, working-class culture and race, national identity and environmental politics and examine the role literary form and genre play in contemporary women writers' constructions of the North.

Please acquire a copy of the following books:
* Sarah Hall, The Wolf Border (2015)
* Sarah Moss, Ghost Wall (2018)
* Anita Sethi, I Belong Here (2022)

Shorter readings will be provided. Please be aware that this is a reading-intensive course.
