ENG 353 - 19th and 20th Century English Novel

Institution:

Concordia University-Ann Arbor

Subject:

Description:

This course looks at the nineteenth and twentieth century English novel in terms of historical context and literary technique. The novels have been selected, not only because they are among the greatest English novels of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, but also because they provide a coherent illustration of the development of the genre itself. Each novel is primarily concerned with the spiritual odyssey of its hero/heroine; each reflects its own historical period, is a product of its own moral and cultural Zeitgeist; and, in addition, each novel reflects in its own way the 'Englishness' of English literature. Each of these novels relies on the reader's knowledge of the English character and climate, class system and religion; each uses the English landscape (city and rural) as an integral motif. Finally, the course examines new definitions of national identity in the post-Imperial period. (Study Abroad - London Centre) Prerequisite: none.
