Title: VICTORIAN POETRY

Section: 03

Semester: Fall - 2014

Description:
This course addresses British poetry during a period – 1837 to 1901 – of remarkable literary and historical change. We will focus our attention on a set of major developments in poetic form and cultural attitudes. We’ll witness innovations in poetry such as the development of the dramatic monologue and nonsense poetry, and we will also track through these works such historical developments as the emergence of popular women poets, the growth of the factory system, and British colonialism. Major authors will include Robert Browning, Christina Rossetti, Elizabeth Barrett Browning, Alfred Tennyson, A. C. Swinburne, Gerard Manley Hopkins, and Thomas Hardy. We will spend time also on a Gilbert and Sullivan comic operetta. Assignments will include two papers, short assignments including regular online journals, and a final exam.
