- Inhalt
- This is a very (!) reading intensive class!
In this Übung, we attempt to gain an overview over many of the 19th century s most important novelists and some of their works. We will start in the Romantic period with Jane Austen and Mary Shelley and will then follow the century and its eminent writers. Please be aware that you have to read approx. one long (!) novel per session, so you should start reading right away.
The 19th century is often said to be the Golden Age of the novel and it has seen authors who are still household names today, such as Jane Austen and Charles Dickens. By quantitatively reading and discussing novels from the whole century, we try to compare themes and key elements of the 19th-century novel . We will discover romance plots alongside social concern and pastorals of the country life alongside London crime stories. In all, as diverse as the books from the 19th century are, there are surprisingly many common denominators among the novels and we are going to discuss as many of them as we can. So be prepared to read and read more.
