Cynthia Sutherland papers, 1963-1997 (bulk, 1983-1995).

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/652971475

The Cynthia Sutherland Papers document a portion of Sutherland's life from 1963-1997. A vast majority of the collection is comprised of academic course materials that were used for the instruction of English Literature and Women's Studies classes at the University of Pittsburgh from 1981-1996. While the collection does not include documents from every course she taught, the materials are representative of the variety of subjects, from broad to specific, that interested Sutherland, and were considered appropriate for academic study by the English and Women's Studies departments at the University of Pittsburgh. Common themes include: Elizabethan through eighteenth-century drama, modern drama, myth studies, folklore, children's literature, fantasy and science fiction literature, psychoanalysis and identity, representations of women in literature, and the influence of women authors on drama and literature. In addition to course materials, a research examination from her PhD studies and a selection of personal and professional correspondence reflect similar subject interests that Sutherland carried throughout her academic career and beyond the collegiate classroom.
