kesusasteraan British yang terkemuka dari

radikalisme, penjajahan, dan budaya

This course covers a representative range
of writers from the British Romantic and
Victorian era including poets, novelists,
essayists, and travel writers, and will
include discussions of a variety of other
artistic genres such as paintings, political
cartoons, film, and music. Literary texts
will be examined thematically in relation to
debates central to modernity: nature and
the environment; the imagination; slavery;
revolution; rights; feminism; radicalism;
colonialism; and popular culture. This
course aims to trace these political and
social changes through the literature of the
nineteenth century, and consider how these
historical changes influenced literary writing
in English. In the process, it looks at some
writings that are marginal to the literary
canon, and reads more familiar literary
texts in new and exciting ways.
