ENGL 535 Turn-of-the-Century British Writers (3 credits)

An examination of British literature in the transitional period between the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Writers will include Hardy, Conrad, and Lawrence.

Socio-political ideas will be examined (e.g., women’s rights, British colonialist/imperialist views, working class struggles, changing gender roles, growing pessimism (WW I), capitalist conflicts, industrial landscapes, urban vs. rural dynamics).
