Περιγραφή Μαθήματος

This course explores representative novels from the Victorian period (1837-1901) and the ways in which they respond to such social changes as the French and Industrial Revolutions, the labour and women’s movements, and the rapid urbanization of English society. The preoccupation of the Victorians with issues such as scientific progress, class and gender relations, the role of education and religion in modern society is reflected in the works of Charles Dickens, Emily Brönte, and Elizabeth Gaskell in ways which resemble but also differ from corresponding Romantic or Modernist texts. These set texts are also seen as representative of the many different kinds of novel produced by the Victorians such as the “condition of England,” the Gothic, and the industrial novel, but also the Bildungsroman and the novel of sensibility, always in relation to the dominant aesthetic and ideological trends of the 19^th Century.
