ENGL 377 - Victorian Literature and Science


Semester Offered: Second Semester
Credits (Range): 4 hours
Attribute: 4 HU, WR
New course added 10.23.12.

Victorian society was rocked by science. Darwinism, dinosaur bones, and the discovery that the sun is dying all produced alarming crises of faith. This course will introduce you to interdisciplinary approaches to literature and science, and will cover scientific topics ranging from physics and evolution, to hypnotism and mesmerism. We will read poetry by Tennyson, Thomas Hardy, and Matthew Arnold, and novels by Charlotte Brontë, Wilkie Collins, and George Eliot. British, 1700-1900.

Enrollment Limit: 25
Instructor: J. Kuskey
