Narratives of Girlhood
Course Description
This course treats a range of contemporary English language literatures about girlhood. Our comparative analyses of texts will pay particular attention to their play with genre and their use of literary devices -- e.g., structure, voice, point of view, dialogue, temporality, language -- to render narratives about girlhood in contexts of (im)migration, loss, displacement, violence, revolution, war, and trauma.
