Courses: Pre-Raphaelites, Aesthetes and Decadents: Gender and Sexuality in 19th-century Literature (ENGLH256A01)
Fall 2012
This course will investigate the myriad ways in which sexuality was imagined in nineteenth century England; our primary source materials will be novels and poetry (C.Bronte, Stoker, Wilde, DuMaurier, LeFanu, M. Shelley, Byron, Rossetti, J.A. Symonds). In an attempt to get a closer look at Victorian mores, however, we will also look at extra-literary documents such as child rearing manuals, personal diaries, and psychological case studies. The course will also include introductory level readings in gender studies and cultural theory. (Foucault, Marcus, etc.).
