Description:

This British literature course will focus on the texts of the Victorian 19th century.

The course will also examine the development of Victorian aesthetic forms, from the role of the Victorian third person narrator, to the rise of didactic poetic rhythms, to the structure of dialogue in late Victorian dramatic satire. Satisfies Arts and Humanities and Writing Designated core requirements. (Cr: 3)
