Institution:

Johns Hopkins University

Subject:

Description:

We all know a novel when we see one, but it’s surprisingly hard to say just what one is. This seminar will introduce the theory of the novel by reading a number of novels along with the works of central thinkers about the novel. We will look at the connection of the rise of the novel form with historical and cultural changes and investigate key stylistic elements. Novelists will likely include Miguel de Cervantes, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, Jane Austen, Gustave Flaubert, and Virginia Woolf.
