This seminar will focus on turn-of-the-century literature from Britain and Ireland that engages with pertinent issues of its time. Insecurities concerning social and cultural advances, the perceived degeneration of the human species, and changing gender roles are only some of the subjects authors addressed and negotiated in their writing. In order to get to the heart of these fin-de-siècle topics, we will read and analyse in detail classics such as Oscar Wilde’s The Picture of Dorian Gray (1891) and Bram Stoker’s Dracula (1897) as well as selected poems and short stories by other British and Irish authors.
Students MUST use the set texts in the following editions:
Oscar Wilde, The Picture of Dorian Gray (Oxford: Oxford University Press, 2008).
Bram Stoker, Dracula (Oxford: Oxford University Press, 2011).
Further texts will be made available at the beginning of the semester. |
