This course is an opportunity for advanced-level students to read and discuss extracts from literature in English (prose and poetry) of the period 1790-1890. No specialist knowledge is required but a lively interest in the authors from the Romantic and Victorian period is desirable. We will also discuss the social and historical background to the literature of this period and there will be a novel per term to read. Students have the chance to give short presentations of extracts, novels or poems by authors of particular interest to them. Some of the authors certain to be discussed are: Wordsworth and the other major Romantic poets; Scott; Tennyson, Browning, Dickens, George Eliot and many other Victorian writers of note from this very rich literary period.
