Research the work, the life of the author/artist, and the period. You will then create your analysis. This process of analysis will require you to discuss the events or innovations that define the historical period when the work was created, analyze a theme or stylistic characteristic of the period that is reflected in the work, and finally analyze the work’s or author’s/artist’s/composer’s contribution to the humanities.
A. Analyze the accepted work selected from the “Task Works” found in the web links section by doing the following: 1. Describe the historical events or innovations that characterize the period in which the work was created (suggested length of 1-2 paragraphs). 2. Analyze how this work reflects a theme or stylistic characteristic from its period (suggested length of 1-2 paragraphs). 3. Analyze the work’s or author’s/artist’s/composer’s contributions to the humanities (suggested length of 1-2 paragraphs).
B. When you use sources to support ideas and elements in a paper or project, provide acknowledgement of source information for any content that is quoted, paraphrased or summarized. Acknowledgement of source information includes in-text citation noting specifically where in the submission the source is used and a corresponding reference, which includes the following points: • author • date • title • location of information (e.g., publisher, journal, website URL)
C. Demonstrate professional communication in the content and presentation of your submission.

Write an analysis of work from a time period

Mary Wollstonecraft. Excerpt from Chapter 9 from A Vindication of the Rights of Woman 1792 (essay)

Work through the following list to arrive at an analysis rather than a simple summary:
• What do you see or hear? Tell your reader or audience about what you are seeing.
• What does it look or sound like?
• Describe it for your reader or audience.
• What might what you see or hear symbolize?
• Think about the deeper meaning of what you see or hear.
• What might be the hidden meaning of what you see or hear?
• What might the work’s creator want you to see beyond the obvious?
• What larger take-away message might s/he be conveying?
• What might be the significance of what you see or hear to the field (literature, music, architecture, poetry, dance, theater, etc.)? • Does what you see stand out as representative of the field?
• Does what you see stand out as representative of the writer, artist, choreographer, architect, etc.?
• Does what you see provide an example of one or more innovations?
• What might be the significance of what you see or hear to the period you are studying?
• Does what you see stand out as representative of the time period?
• Does what you see provide an example of one or more innovations in that time period? Why is this work important in a larger historical and cultural context?
