ENGL 223 - Grief, Rage and Wonder: The 19th-Century British Novel I Semester Offered: First Semester Credits (Range): 4 Hours Attribute: 4 HU, WR
This course introduces the nineteenth-century novel, with a special emphasis on how vehement emotions—such as grief, rage, fear and wonder—generate and organize these narratives. We will be looking at British novels of the “classic” period (arguably when the novel reached its peak as a form), in an attempt to generate a critical, formal, and theoretical reading of these texts and their affective structures. Through an intense study of these texts, we will attempt to discern a poetics of feeling underlying the Victorian novel. Nature of Text. British, 1700-1900. Enrollment Limit: 30. Instructor: I. Geerken Prerequisites & Notes For complete prerequisites, please refer to the English Program section titled “Introductory Gateway Courses.”
