AS 060.201 - 19th Century British Novel

Institution:

Johns Hopkins University

Subject:

Description:

The novel in nineteenth-century Britain was a hugely popular cultural form, much like the serial television drama today. It was also a form of cultural expression that began to compete with the claims and consolations of some of the most influential intellectual and moral discourses of the time, including social science and religion. In this course we will read many of the most popular and accomplished novels of the era, with a view to examining specific artistic forms and styles in relation to both thematic concerns and social, historical, and literary contexts. Authors will include Jane Austen, Charlotte Bronte, Charles Dickens, George Eliot, Wilkie Collins, and Oscar Wilde.
