This course provides an overview of British culture in the long nineteenth century, beginning with the spectre of the French revolution and stretching to the seminal catastrophe of the twentieth century. On the one hand, we will focus on Britain's political culture, especially on questions of class, race and gender, as they are inherent to the various movements for social reform and to the development of the British Empire. On the other hand, we are going to explore popular and literary culture(s) of the time. This will include the culture of everyday life, such as dress, food, entertainment, courtship and sexual mores.
You are expected to prepare a reading/viewing for each session.
Texts:
A course reader will be made available to you on Moodle at the beginning of the semester. |
