ENGL121 PO - Realism and Its ShadowWhen Offered: Offered alternate years
Instructor(s): A. B. Kunin
Credit: 1
What is real? How do works of fiction understand the concept of fiction? This course studies dreams, fantasies, horror, humor, utopianism, idealism, and related categories of experience – parts of life that don’t always seem to be parts of reality. Most of our examples will be taken from nineteenth-century British novels by authors such as Bronte, Eliot, and Trollope; we will also look at a few examples from other literatures (tales by Lermontov, Gogol, Hoffman, Balzac) and genres (Lewis Carroll’s nonsense, Wilde’s society comedies).
