While the primary concern will be on close readings, this class will also explore what these texts say about the aesthetic and social concerns of the time.

Authors covered will include Fielding, Sterne, Richardson, and Defoe, Blake, Wordsworth, Shelley, Keats, Austen, Dickens, Tennyson, George Eliot, T.S. Eliot, Yeats, Joyce, Woolf, and Beckett.
