Studies in 19th C.: Faith & Doubt

3 credits

This course examines literature of faith and doubt, from poems of Tennyson, Matthew Arnold, and Browning to novels of Dickens, Eliot, and Gaskell from the perspective of new scholarship on Victorian religion, inviting critics to take seriously, as the Victorians did, their own thinking about religion and the spiritual life. *Note: Students may receive credit for one of ENGL 806AL or ENGL 430AL.*
