HUMN 7320 - Lesbian and Gay Literature


Credits: 3

Focuses on the manifold ways that same-sex love and desire have been represented in literature from ancient times through the present. Tracing the persistence of classical and biblical views and the rise of modern models of sexuality, the course follows ideas from Plato, the Bible, medieval poetry, Shakespeare, Oscar Wilde, and Freud that frame the work of gay and lesbian writers today. May be used to fulfill the writing intensive requirement or may be applied to the following curricular field concentrations: gender studies; human rights and social justice; humanities.
