Subject outline
In this subject students consider nineteenth-century, mostly British, fiction and some poetry published between 1837 and 1901. The fiction will be studied in relation to contemporary critical discussions of private and public spaces. The subject will also consider modes and ways of reading and reading history.The supposed inside and outside/private and public will be considered in relation to theories of gender, sexuality, class and race in the nineteenth-century and to the uses of science in the Victorian era. The course will concentrate on specific moments to help contain and highlight particular issues, the so called 'High Victorian', and 'Late Victorian' periods.
