Description:

One unit. This course focuses on the English novel as it evolves from the 18th through the 20th centuries. Both the gothic strain and the impulse to detection occur in the works of authors such as Horace Walpole, Jane Austen, Charlotte Bront , Charles Dickens, Wilkie Collins, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, Oscar Wilde, E.M. Forster, and P.D. James. In working with these narratives we will explore the links between the supernatural and criminal as we also take up the variety of structures that English fi ction offers us. The course also emphasizes the use of secondary critical sources. Offered spring semester of even-numbered years.
