In this course, we'll study the eighteenth- and early nineteenth-century novel as it developed both in Britain and on the Continent. Early novels often took the form of autobiographies, and we'll examine the connection between life-writing and novel-writing. In tracing the birth and growth of what came to be a major, multifaceted, inclusive genre, we will connect the novel’s generic expansion to the theme of journey (both physical and mental) and environmentalism. Novels we will read illustrate various sub-genres of the novel (such as the Gothic, epistolary, domestic, historical, scientific, realistic, apocalyptic, etc.), and students will be encouraged to make creative intertextual connections between the texts. Likely texts to be read include Anne Radcliffe’s THE MYSTERIES OF UDOLPHO, Jane Austen’s NORTHANGER ABBEY, Walter Scott’s THE BRIDE OF LAMMERMOOR, Mary Shelley’s THE LAST MAN, and Flaubert’s MADAME BOVARY.This course satisfies the Genre Studies requirement for English majors as well as the Early British Literature requirement; it also counts as a Genre course for English with a Creative Writing Emphasis majors and as a literature elective for English with a Professional Writing emphasis majors. Prerequisite: ENGL 201, 202, 203, or 204.
