Description:

Comic, sentimental, and gothic novels from an age whose pursuit of happiness is marked by growing psychological awareness and by changing views on sex, passion, and marriage. Within such social contexts, the course assesses the tensions between the early novel's richly comic realism, its serious indulgence in the cult of feeling, and its romantic flirtation with the supernatural thriller.
