Credit: 3 hours.

Covers literature written during the tumultuous modern period in British history from the Industrial Revolution, through Victorian imperial expansion, to the twentieth-century social convulsions of global war and de-colonization. The term “modern” designates the period of Britain’s rise from regional European power to global dominance, including mass migration to Britain after WWII and the continuing influence of global anglophone culture. British writers responded to these historical transformations with radical innovations in poetic style, epic social novels, and literary acts of resistance to imperial power. Writers covered in this survey course may include Jane Austen, William Wordsworth, Mary Shelley, Charlotte Brontë, Charles Dickens, Alfred Tennyson, Oscar Wilde, H.G. Wells, William Butler Yeats, Virginia Woolf, T.S. Eliot, Philip Larkin, Derek Walcott, Hanif Kureishi, Zadie Smith, and Kazuo Ishiguro.
