HI 345 - Progress and Nostalgia: Mid-Victorian Britain in History and Literature


The period between  1851-1867  constituted the high noon of  Victorian England, an era when Britain enjoyed unprecedented stability and prosperity. Beneath the equipoise of these years, however, great changes took place, and Victorians attempted to deal with what they saw as the transition from the medieval to the modern world. This  course identifies several areas in which significant change occurred, such as politics, art, and religion and others. Within the selected areas, students will learn to appreciate the great literature of  the period and examine the historical forces influencing the art, culture and people of the mid-Victorian period.  Cross-listed as EN 345 .

Four credits.
