Subject:

Description:

This course has two related aims: to perform an intensive reading of Eliot's novel and to provide an introduction to the history and culture of Britain in the early to mid-Victorian period. In placing the novel and its contexts in conversation with one another, the course aims to illuminate the aesthetic complexity of the novel, the driving concerns of the intellectual climate in which it was produced, and the possibility or extent of mutual influence. Supplementary texts include works by Arnold, Mill, Darwin, Spencer, Ellis, genre theory, and critical responses to the novel. K. Kerr. Winter.
