LIT 265 - The English Novel, from Austen to Woolf (4 Cr.) (WEC)
This course examines the evolution of the novel in English from the Romantic era through the Victorian to the Modern. We will explore changes in authors’ techniques and concerns, paying particular attention to the evolution of styles of narrative; approaches to psychological characterization; the appearance of other genres within the realist tradition; conventions of fiction, and responses to these conventions; attitudes towards authorship, especially when influenced by gender; and representations of “Englishness”. Readings: Austen’s Pride and Prejudice, Shelley’s Frankenstein, Charlotte Brontë’s Jane Eyre, Emily Brontë’s Wuthering Heights, Dickens’ Great Expectations, Hardy’s Jude the Obscure, Woolf’s Mrs. Dalloway. For majors, this is a recommended core course in later British literature. Prerequisite: WRT 181 or WRT 181H or FYS 100W or CWP, and LIT 200 . Spring semester. Wells.
