ENG 58 - The Victorian Period

Institution:

Long Island University-C W Post Campus

Subject:

Description:

Moved by the social and aesthetic concerns of their time, authors of the Victorian period worked to represent in their writing the minutia of what it meant to be alive in 19th-century Britain. Literature moved from the concerns of the Romantics with sublimity and the apocalypse to a realism interested in such matters as class, money, morals, and manners. In this course the works of the major novelists and poets of the time will be read closely, but they will also be explored in light of the vast and exuberant changes that were influencing these authors' lives and those of everyone around them. This course will revolve around such topics as the modern city and industrialization, gender and sexuality, and religion and science. Authors read will include Tennyson, Browning, Arnold, Hopkins, the Rossettis, George Eliot, Dickens, the Brontës, Conrad, and Wilde. Prerequisites of ENG 1 and ENG 2 are required.
