授業の目的（ねらい）、概要

This course examines 'Northanger Abbey' (1817) by the British novelist Jane Austen, primarily through the lens of feminist criticism. Among Austen’s published works, this novel is particularly conscious of the low status accorded to women and to novelists; the course considers what is signified by the very apparent clarity of its polemical surface. At the same time, the course critically examines the validity of reading her writings through the lens of feminist criticism, given that she was highly regarded by male literary figures even in her lifetime.

In each session, students will read the relevant sections of the novel alongside key works of feminist criticism. Participants will give presentations based on handouts they have prepared, summarising the assigned section and their observations. At the end of every class, students are required to submit a short reflective response. They are also required to submit their final essay.

The course content is subject to change depending on the number of participants.
