19th-Century British Literature: Mapping the Anglo-American Literary Tradition

Course Description

Teaches students to think historically about literature through tracing a set of key concepts such as author, reader, theme, form, culture, and intertextuality through an examination of representative texts from nineteenth-century British literature. Pays attention to work from both the Romantic and Victorian periods and considers how writers redefined the role of writers, readers, and texts in a world being rapidly transformed by industrialization, technology, science, labor unrest, women's enfranchisement, imperialism, and expanding literacy.
