Locating British Literature and Culture, 1800-Present

This course focuses on three spatial contexts closely associated with British culture: the home, the city (London, in particular), and the empire. Together, we will consider how literary representations of these overlapping spatial scales contribute to shifting conceptions of British identity, as well as intersect with the construction of gender, class, and race. We will use this map in conjunction with our timelime to make explore the relationship between space, literature, and identity. 

 

Plotting British Literature, 1800-Present

We'll use this timeline to plot the relationship between our course texts and historical events. At three different points during the semester (after each of our major units: Romantics, Victorians, and Moderns), you'll be asked to contribute an event to this timeline. Your contribution should provide a brief overview of a significant and interesting cultural or political event, as well as a brief reflection that connects that event to our course themes and texts.
