Course Summary

You will explore canonical Victorian texts, including by authors such as Charles Dickens, the Brontë sisters, Arthur Conan Doyle, and George Eliot, alongside other important nineteenth-century writings and artworks that may be less familiar to you. This combination will allow you to explore significant events and ideas from diverse perspectives, from the heart of Dickensian London to colonial outposts in India, Australia, and the Arctic from the painters of fashionable life to the panic surrounding the Whitechapel murders from nineteenth-century periodicals to Neo-Victorian re-imaginings of the past. Our modules examine nineteenth-century literary and artistic works – novels, poetry, short fiction, criticism, paintings, visual culture, and life-writing – that engage with Victorianism within Britain and from other perspectives beyond national and imperial boundaries.
