For Friday, no questions, but be sure to read these two stories by women who were quite prolific and popular at the time: both were active in the 1820-40's, writing "silver fork" novels (novels of the upper classes) as well as drama and poetry. However, to have a career they had to dabble in the popular Gothic magazines, and these two stories represent their attempts to corner that market as well. On Friday I'll give you an in-class writing question to respond to, which will consider how women used the conventions of the Gothic story while also adding a social message (early feminism?) that men of the time would be less interested in--or aware of.
See you on Friday!
