University of Notre Dame

Subject:

English

Description:

The development of the novel in English from the eighteenth to the twenty-first century is the focus of this unit.

The implications of contemporary literary theory are considered in context and the unit promotes an appreciation of the complex movement from pleasure to understanding in the reading of fiction. Students develop skills in critical discernment through detailed textual analysis. Authors studied include Austen, Bronte, Hardy, Lawrence, and Tolkien.
