Aim to make your essay coherent and continuous (i.e., not broken up into sections with separate headings).
For all questions, you are required to consult, and cite in your essay, two recommended texts (or more, if you wish) from the module Reading List. Credit will be given for evidence that you have engaged thoughtfully with the recommended texts you select. You can quote directly from them, or paraphrase from them, or both. However, it should be clear to the reader where any quoted or paraphrased material is located in the recommended text by the inclusion of relevant page numbers in your references. Use Chicago Manual of Style conventions for all referencing: https://libguides.stir.ac.uk/Referencing
To be clear, the recommended texts you cite must be from the module Reading List (i.e., not from Google Scholar, etc.)
In this assignment, we are looking for evidence of the following:
· Detailed knowledge and understanding of the course materials (primary and secondary reading) evidenced by referenced quotation and /or paraphrase as appropriate
· A response which effectively answers the chosen question
· Clear and coherent writing and presentation
· Consistent and accurate referencing
Option 1
Feminist literary criticism, according to Elaine Showalter, entails ‘a radical alteration of our vision, a demand that we see meaning in what has previously been empty space. The orthodox plot recedes, and another plot, hitherto submerged in the anonymity of the background stands out in bold relief’ (Elaine Showalter, ‘Literary Criticism’, Signs, 1, 2 (Winter 1975): 435).
Taking Showalter’s remarks as your starting point, consider how an understanding of feminist literary theory might alter, shape or enhance a reading of Virginia Woolf’s Mrs. Dalloway. Be sure to cite examples from the novel to illustrate your points.
