This study, part of growing interest in the study of
nineteenth-century medievalism and Anglo-Saxonism, closely examines
the intersections of race, class, and gender in the teaching of
Anglo-Saxon in the American women's colleges before World War I,
interrogating the ways that the positioning of Anglo-Saxon as the
historical core of the collegiate English curriculum also silently
perpetuated mythologies about Manifest Destiny, male superiority,
and the primacy of northern European ancestry in United States
culture at large. Analysis of college curricula and biographies of
female professors demonstrates the ways that women used Anglo-Saxon
as a means to professional opportunity and political expression,
especially in the suffrage movement, even as that legitimacy and
respectability was freighted with largely unarticulated assumptions
of racist and sexist privilege. The study concludes by connecting
this historical analysis with current charged discussions about the
intersections of race, class, and gender on college campuses and
throughout US culture.
