Section Info:
Although our central goal in this class is to acquire the necessary tools for discussing, analyzing, and writing about works of fiction, we will do so by examining select works from Victorian Britain as well as texts inspired by the Victorian age. While strictly spanning from 1837 – 1901, the period has had a much longer hold on the creative and literary imagination than just those sixty-four years. Victorian fiction was marked by distinctive practices and customs—practices that evolved throughout the period. Both the mechanics of its fiction and the cultural associations with Victorian social constructs and aesthetics have defined how subsequent authors have chosen to reconstruct aspects of Victorian fiction in the genre known as Neo-Victorian fiction. Although the term sometimes simply indicates a Victorian setting, Neo-Victorianism can also encompass the “desire to re-write the historical narrative of that period by representing marginalized voices, new histories of sexuality, post-colonial viewpoints and other generally ‘different’ versions of the Victorian.” Readings for this particular section may include: short stories by Henry James; George Eliot’s Scenes from Clerical Life; Thomas Hardy’s The Return of the Native; and Sarah Waters’ Fingersmith.
