could you give me some idea of what was written during your era so I have an idea of your area of expertise?.....

Chris is right, except she left off Milton and a few folks who I don't expect anyone not in lit to care about. lol

I am excited about some women authors who haven't been getting as much treatment. Tentatively, my dissertation is going to be about Anna Weamys and Lady Mary Wroth, and how they took the masculine genre of the epic and made it into a tool to express their own ideas about the political occurences of the time. And some other boring stuff about the gender relationships in their works, and how they presented political commentary through gender representations, blahblahblah.
