Descripción general e información relevante This module will focus on the literature of Romanticism and the Victorian Period. The first part will deal with some ideological issues concerning imperialism, class, gender, race and science in the 19th century. The Romantics stressed emotion, spontaneity, the imagination and originality. Many of them were rebels and revolutionaries who paved the way for the social reforms of the nineteenth century. Victorian literature engaged with topics ranging from sensation to science fiction, from social awareness to sexuality and from science to fantasy.

  descripción
Activitats Introductòries The first class will introduce this module of literature, its contents, reading texts, methodology, exams and bibliography. It is important that all students attend regularly.
Seminaris The seminars will focus on the different contents related to the literature of the 19th century. There will be general introductions to the literary and cultural contexts, which will be done with power-point presentations. The seminars will also be practical and based on the reading of texts in your Dossier.

Sessió Magistral Part of this course will be based on lectures, especially the Theory classes. You will be introduced to different literary theories and also social and ideological theories which will help you to understand how the British Empire used power strategies to categorise and then discriminate. An important aspect of Imperialism was also the interest of various social groups trying to join forces to construct utopian societies.
Atenció personalitzada I will be pleased to receive students at my office for any kind of doubt or consultation. Let me know in advance, either through email or in class, when you would like to talk to me
You can also write to my email and tell me about your concerns.
Presentacions / exposicions Apart from writing an academic essay, you will be asked to give a power-point presentation in English. Again, you should follow the instructions in your Dossier very carefully.
