LIT071 CM - 19th-Century British Novel

The novel is the crowning achievement of 19th-century British literature, a form which fully retains its immense popularity, critical interest and critical acclaim today. The accomplishment of such masters as Austen, Dickens, Thackeray, Eliot and Hardy will be seen through a close reading of major works. Discussions and lectures will focus both on concerns and issues of the period as well as on ways in which Victorian masterworks like Vanity Fair, David Copperfield, and Jude the Obscure reflect the growth and change of the novel form itself.
