(syllabus)
The course will examine and analyse some of the most significant narrative works to trace the evolution of the English novel within its historical and cultural context. Its aim is to explore key English novels such as ‘Robinson Crusoe’, ‘Joseph Andrews’, ‘The Castle of Otranto’, ‘Oliver Twist’, ‘Jane Eyre’, ‘Mrs Dalloway’. Following an initial series of lectures on the form, style, and main themes of both realist and non-realist novels, subsequent sessions will focus on the reading and analysis of each of the aforementioned texts, as well as on students' critical engagement with them, following a diachronic approach.
