Title: VICTORIAN POETRY AND PROSE

Section: 01

Semester: Spring - 2011

Credits: 3

Description:
This course addresses British poetry and non-fiction prose during a period – 1837 to 1901 – of remarkable cultural and literary change. We will focus our attention on a set of major developments in literary form and cultural attitudes. We’ll witness innovations in poetry such as the dramatic monologue and nonsense poetry, and new developments in non-fiction prose such as the explosion of British travel writing about North America and early feminist writing. We will also track through these works such historical developments as the growth of the factory system, Darwinism, British colonialism, and the rise of both the radical left and modern reactionary conservatism. Major authors will include Robert Browning, Christina Rossetti, John Stuart Mill, Walter Pater, Charles Dickens, Charles Darwin, and Fanny Trollope. Assignments will include two papers, short assignments including regular online journals, and a final exam.
