Section Information for Fall 2021
Though Michel de Montaigne is often called “the father of the essay,” Sei Shōnagon wrote the first documented essays in her Pillow Book in Japan in 1002. And women writers over the centuries, from Eliza Haywood to Joan Didion to Roxane Gay, have helped cement the form. In this course, we’ll explore the role women have played in the development of the essay as we know it and the challenges they’ve faced along the way.
ENGH 202 035 is a hybrid section with mandatory in-person class meetings and a significant online component.
