Course details

Name: ENGL - 256

Title: NOVEL TO 1900

Section: 01

Semester: Fall - 2014

Credits: 3

Description:
Over the course of the term, we will read five novels and focus on, among other things, how the depiction of relationships evolves from the eighteenth to nineteenth centuries. We will also ask questions: how, for example, were women allowed to behave in the novel? What does the novel require of it heroes? Although this is not a survey course, students should leave the course with a clear sense of how the depiction of themes we identify early in the semester (class, gender, conduct, and so forth) shift over time and should be able to discuss, in writing, how the novels respond to one another. In addition to short writing assignments and quizzes, students will write one or two critical essays.
