ENG 136 - The Victorian Rebels

Institution:

Long Island University-C W Post Campus

Subject:

Description:

When the Victorians are thought of today, many stereotypes come to mind: they were sexually repressed; their architecture and furniture was overly elaborate and fanciful; their literature is long and dull. In this course these stereotypes will be explored, but they will also be largely exploded. The literature of powerful women and early feminists will be considered; the writings and paintings of sexual radicals of all stripes will be explored; and the poetry and criticism of political and social revolutionaries will be studied. Finally, this course will prove that all the good rebellions of today have their roots in the Victorian period. Works by the following writers, artists, and designers will be included: Emily Brontë, Dante Gabriel Rossetti, Christina Rossetti, Elizabeth Barrett Browning, William Morris, Algernon Charles Swinburne, Michael Field and Oscar Wilde. Prerequisites of ENG 1 and ENG 2 are required.
