ENGL 327 - Studies in Victorian Literature

Institution:

Saint John Fisher University

Subject:

Description:

Queen Victoria's sixty-four-year reign (1837-1901) witnessed sweeping social changes-the growth of industrialization, imperialism, nationalism, and the struggle for women's rights. At the same time, the writings of Marx and Engels, Darwin, Freud and others challenged long-held ways of understanding the world. These profound social and intellectual changes paralleled the rise of narrative fiction and poetry, which achieved unequaled popularity with both writers and readers during this period. Because it is impossible in one semester comprehensively to "cover" Victorian literature,and because literature is inextricably linked to culture, we study several writers' imaginative responses to the sense of dividedness and loss that characterized Victorian culture.
