ENGL 315 - Eighteenth-Century Fiction
4 HU, WR
First Semester. An intensive survey of the eighteenth-century British novel. We will take our critical bearings from Locke’s famous description of the mind as “white paper, void of all characters, without any ideas.” Experience thus makes us who we are – a notion that bequeathed to the eighteenth century both an unprecedented freedom and danger. Accordingly, we will study the pleasures and perils of human experience in novels by, among others, Defoe, Richardson, Fielding, Burney, and Austen. British, 1700-1900.
