Description:

This course questions the literary techniques and forms the English writers developed between 1660 and 1900 to characterize and imagine London to be a unified community and to counter the growing perception of London as a "monstrous city." This image of "the English-speaking City" as an uncontrollable monster may be explored in writings by Daniel Defoe, Jane Austen, Elizabeth Gaskell, Robert Louis Stevenson, Charles Dickens, Thomas Hardy, and Joseph Conrad. 3.000 Credit hours 3.000 Lecture hours Levels: Undergraduate Schedule Types: Lecture Literature,Philosophy&Arts Department Course Attributes: Upper Division
