ENG 272 LogoBritish Literature II: Revolution, Reaction, Reform examines British literature from the late eighteenth century to the present, a period that witnessed the American and French Revolutions, slave revolts such as the Haitian Revolution, a “revolution in female manners,” the Industrial Revolution, the twentieth-century revolutionary wave in Europe, as well as World War I and World War II, and, of course, artistic revolutions. We will consider how the authors and literary works of this period might be reacting to change, advocating for reform, or participating in literary revolutions—whether revolution is understood in the sense of “revolving” or of “revolting,” going full circle to return to a previous (more perfect?) time or experiencing/effecting a great alteration or rupture.

Fate and Endings Map | Map

I chose the theme of fate because throughout the 18th century every character has a fate of what the end of their story looks like. I also noticed that the fate of those stories can be good and bad. In the Romantic period many fates are obvious and not hard to know before the story is over and these stories often end predictable. In the Victorian period authors start to get creative with the…

Tracking "Otherness" in 18th Century - Present British Literature | Map

Looking across the Romantic era, Victorian period, and the modern era in British literature, the theme of “otherness” has consistently been present, but portrayed in different ways.
