Notes:
This course is designed specifically for the 2020 election season. We'll read for politics and pleasure across a range of literary works from the early nineteenth century to the present. Authors include Jane Austen, Charles Dickens, Charlotte Brontë, Bram Stoker, Sarah Waters, Tana French, and others. We'll take up big issues ... or not, as we see fit. Balancing rigorous literary analysis with escapist enjoyment, we'll have a joyful romp through two centuries of British novels. Assignments include reading responses, two short research assignments, and a 10-15 page research paper.
