assigned)
School
School of Literatures, Languages and Cultures
Summary
Modern ideas of 'Victorian values' depend upon clichés and distortions
of Victorian ideas of love: reverence for the nuclear family combined
with prudishness and prurience; marriage plots, covered table-legs and
scandal sheets publishing the dirty secrets of the divorce courts. This
course offers students the opportunity to discover the complex and
diverse forms of Victorian interpersonal relationship, through close
examination of a range of poetry, prose and drama.
