Description:

TR 11:00-12:15 Goldsmith Literature and Movement: Britain, Empire, & Identity From the French and the Industrial Revolutions to the Reform bills and suffrage, the nineteenth century was marked by vast and radical change, change variously promoted and resisted. The Industrial Revolution gave rise to new configurations and movements of labor. The uncoupling of capital from property increased social mobility. Geological discoveries by Hutton and Lyell showing the earth to be a process of gradual change culminated in Darwin's theory of evolution. New technologies of travel made possible the expansion of empire under Queen Victoria, and commerce swept the globe. How do these various notions of movement, of change, and of circulation shape the writings of this new world, and how do they continue to inform poems, plays, and novels over a century later? Considering the role and representation of progress, of travel, and of change, this class will investigate how notions of the past, the present, and the future might configure the spaces of individual and national consciousness.
