The sensation novel was one of the most popular -- and controversial -- literary genres of the Victorian era. Whereas in the early part of the century crime was viewed as a threat posed by the lower classes, by the 1860s, criminal behavior was seen as the dark secret hidden beneath the façade of the perfect upper-class home. In this course, we will read Victorian page-turners by Wilkie Collins and Mary Braddon, as well as riveting twentieth-first-century adaptations of the genre written by Kate Summerscale and Sarah Waters. We will also read examples of Victorian journalism that inspired and responded to the sensation novel craze of the 1860s. This course satisfies the Contexts and Convergences requirement for English majors and counts as a literature course for English with a Creative Writing emphasis and English with a Professional Writing emphasis students. It also satisfies an Integrations in the Humanities requirement for students under the new core program. Prerequisite: ENGL 121, 190, or ENGL 201-204.
