ENG-1101: The Rise of the British novel Work Load
10 credits (ECTS) | Objectives
The course is an introduction to different literary genres in English, as well as to central concepts and terms for analysis in the study of these. | Contents
The course will focus on the beginnings of the English novel in its modern form, illustrated in works by Daniel Defoe, Henry Fielding, Frances Burney, Jane Austen, and Charles Dickens. The aim is to give students a detailed appreciation of five novels of the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, along with an understanding of the history and theory of fiction at a crucial moment of change in British literary history. We will focus on a picture of the social and cultural background to each novel, and we will spend time discussing both a theory of narrative fiction and criticism of each novel.
A good command of written and oral English is required. | Form of teaching
The course meets for lectures and discussions four hours a week for 12-13 weeks.
All literature will be in English. | Assessment
