I'm currently taking a class titled The Crystal Palace and Victorian Literature. It's English 495, my senior seminar for my English B.A.
We are focusing our discussions around The Great Exhibition of 1851.
Throughout the course we will be reading:
A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens
Jane Eyre by Charlotte Brontë
Mary Barton by Elizabeth Gaskell
Cranford by Elizabeth Gaskell
The Woman in White by Wilkie Collins
Aurora Leigh by Elizabeth Barrett Browning
Goblin Market by Christina Rossetti
And other various articles and excerpts from my professor's collection

Ooo... "Goblin Market" was a great read for Boren's Gothic Disturbances class. I loved that one.
ReplyDeleteI started reading part of it on my kindle before classes started, but the kindle edition did not break it up into stanzas so it was difficult to read.
ReplyDeleteI am really interested in this class, I'm just a little nervous that I will have a hard time with the literature. It all seems very formal.
