Inhalt
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 Charlotte Brontë. In particular, as Elaine Showalter writes, “it seemed that the nineteenth century was the Age of the Female Novelist” (Showalter 1977). This course is thus going to look specifically at 19th-century female writers whose works have proven to be timeless reader favourites. By quantitatively reading and discussing novels from the whole century, we try to compare themes and key elements of the 19th-century female novel, ranging from the Romantic period to the late Victorian era. We will discover romance plots alongside social condition novels alongside sensational crime stories. In all, as diverse as women’s fiction from the 19th century is, 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.
Participants should be advised that this is a very reading intensive class covering six long novels over the course of 14 weeks.
