Bleak Houses: Shifting Landscapes of the 英语 Novel

This course will cover the modern European novel through the thematic rubric of “love and lies.” This affords the opportunity to consider 小说 not only as a medium of the novel but also as a discourse of self-expression, 贯穿, and in the cases of some our lying protagonists, 自我毁灭. Students will focus on characters’ constructions of “truth” and “lies” as these concepts are informed by characters’ emotional positions. 在它最雄心勃勃的时候, this focus on the dynamic of intersubjectivity not only provides important insights into the literature we will read but also enhances students’ understanding of the interpersonal connections that drive worldviews and narratives.
