Nineteenth-Century Fiction

ENGL 2783 X2
Dr. Patricia Rigg

In this course we will read British fiction of the long nineteenth-century.  This time period includes Romantic, Victorian, and Edwardian fiction, and our approach will be to read short stories and novels with an awareness of their historical, cultural, political, and social contexts.  We begin with the fiction of Sensibility and Manners, and continue with Science Fiction, Detective Fiction, Sensation Fiction, the Industrial Novel, and New Woman Fiction.  Prerequisite:  ENGL 1406 (ENGL 1413/ENGL 1423) with a minimum grade of C-.
