Class Description:: This course provides an in-depth exploration of four exemplary nineteenth-century British novels: Jane Austen's Emma (1815), Charlotte Bronte's Jane Eyre (1847), Charles Dickens's Bleak House (1853), and Thomas Hardy's Tess of the D'Urbervilles (1891). Class meetings will be conducted as a discussion and together we will examine why novels became the dominant literary genre of modern culture, identify major stylistic, structural, and aesthetic features that distinguish nineteenth-century fiction, and explore how these texts thematically reflect and respond to major social and cultural transformations. Because of the length of nineteenth-century British novels, participants in this course should be prepared to keep up with a significant reading load throughout the semester.
