Love and Marriage
in 19th Century England
Beginning with Coventry Patmore’s Angel in the House, and including
prose works by J. S. Mill, Barbara Bodichon and others, the course focused
on the tensions within most 19th century narratives between the
heroine’s intelligence and ambition and the conventions of the Victorian
love and marriage plots.
Victorian Science
and Literature
Beginning with Tennyson’s In Memoriam and Darwin’s Origin of
Species, this course juxtaposed literary and non-literary representations
of evolutionary theory. Our focus was to analyze the role of science in
Victorian art and culture.
