Institution:

Whitman College

Subject:

Description:

The 18th century has long been acknowledged as the era in which socio-cultural shifts, such as increasing class fluidity and urbanization, led to the crystallization of many of the key literary techniques and narrative strategies of the modern novel. Birth, however, is a chaotic process, and this course will trace its disordered emergence from, and incorporation of, a variety of different genres, including the romance, journalism, poetry, the epistle, and short prose fiction. Authors may include: Behn, Haywood, Defoe, Fielding, Richardson, Sterne, Walpole, and Burney.
