Literature in the Age of the Revolution 1600-1640

No one can deny that Julie is passionate about what she teaches. She is funny, eccentric, and she has an obscene store of knowledge about the English renaissance. But don't let this fool you. She is an ardent feminist, and good for her. NOT good for you, though, since she teaches nearly every class from a tunnel-visioned feminist's point-of-view. I don't think anyone in our class would have disagreed with Julie's arguments about the rights of women in 1600-1640, (and my absolute favorite day of class was when she came out to us all on Halloween) but WHO THE HELL DOESN'T ALREADY KNOW THAT WOMEN WERE TREATED LIKE SHIT BACK THEN?
There is more to literature than gender struggle. I swear to christ, there's so much more...

And this self-proclaimed radical and champion of the has-been underdog shamelessly gets off on cracking her academic whip. She is an impossible grader. She asks obscure but pointed questions to which no one who cannot hear her own labyrenthine internal monologue could respond, and she makes a monstrous, self-aggrandizing show of ignoring opinions different than her own.
