Annotation

OBJECTIVES<br>
The course, combining the form of lecture and workshop, acquaints students with major streams and tendencies of British <br>
literature and culture in the second half of the 19th century. The authors discussed are not only major late<br>
-Victorian novelists (W. Pater, G. Moore, H. James) and poets (G. M. Hopkins, the PRB poets) but also <br>
representatives of minor genres (L. Carroll) and even popular fiction authors (B. Stoker). The discussion is <br>
further supported by the reading of relevant critical and theoretical texts (Pater, Ruskin, etc.).<br>
<br>
ASSESSMENT<br>
Credit requirements include one to two oral presentations (one work of fiction, one theoretical text), one essay written on a chosen <br>
topic, and active participation in the discussion over the texts.<br>
