3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: ARH 2850 , ENGL 1101, ENGL 1102. This course is in a seminar format. A seminar consists of the presentation of various topics covering a variety of subjects such as art, fashion, poetry, technology and social dynam-ics, but more importantly, it is a forum for open discussion of pertinent topics. Whenever we come across a topic that we feel is relevant and interesting to Victorian Art and Culture, we open a discussion in class, even if that day's topic is unrelated. The latter includes gender issues and the roles that men and women played in Victorian society. The format of this course will not be the straight-forward lecture approach of survey courses, and class discussions will be the driving force behind the course. The Victorian Period covers the reign of Queen Victoria of Eng-land, who sat on the throne from 1837 to 1901. Initially, the professor will present an overview, touching on several different topics that define the Victorian era and subsequent classes will consist of student presentations and in-depth class discussions based on assigned readings. Over the course of the semester we will also watch a video recording entitled 1900 House. It is an experiment conducted recently using a contemporary, middle-class British family, plac-ing them in a Victorian home and requiring them to live like a Victorian family would have at the turn of the twentieth century.
