Reading the Victorian Home

3 credits

The 20th century scorned the Victorian ideal of the “angel in the house,” but modern critics recognize the importance of the lived experience of domestic life. This course reads the representation and material culture of the Victorian home, through such authors as Hemans, Gaskell, Patmore, Dickens, Oliphant, and Trollope. ***Prerequisite: ENGL 100 and either ENGL 110 or completion of 48 credit hours.***
