Description

During the nineteenth century, the novel flourished in Britain both as a form of popular entertainment and as an avenue for social and political critique. Although realistic fiction dominated the market, many important nineteenth-century novels also included fantastic or Gothic elements. We will examine how novels represented the new industrial economy, class and gender relations, imperialism, and new technologies. We will also explore the formal and aesthetic innovations of the period, as well as how the production and circulation of literature changed in response to a new mass audience.
