ENGLISH 728 / Comparative Studies in Nineteenth-Century Literature II

3 unit(s)

J. Adamson

This course will focus on literary works-fiction, poetry, and essays-by some of the most important writers of the second half of the nineteenth century. The approach will make an eclectic use of theory and methodology, but will be based, above all, on an understanding of the works in terms of their metaphoric and narrative structure, as well as their affective and ideo-affective significance. A list of helpful theoretical readings will be provided.
