Information

Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung

The lecture will give a survey of the heydays of English novel-writing and analyse some of the best-known authors and novels of the time and their engagement with the cultural and social changes Britain underwent in the course of the 19th century.
After a brief survey of the social and political background and of eighteenth-century fictional forms which served as models and sources of inspiration to nineteenth-century authors, we will discuss the development of the Victorian novel in its breadth and diversity. The focus will be on the famous writers and the well-known novels of the period. Although each of these representatives of the 'great tradition' of English fiction has his/her individual style, thematic interests and distinct flavour, an attempt will be made to point out recurring subjects and motifs, typical features of structure, narrative technique and point of view, and of characteristic attitudes and ideological standpoints.
Assessment: Written end term test
