The highly popular novels of nineteenth-century Britain produced such memorable characters as Sherlock Holmes, Count Dracula, Alice in Wonderland, Frankenstein's monster, and Dr. Jekyll. The novel?s literary engagements with science, love, and the city are entangled with cultural discourses on animals, monstrosity, supernaturalism, degeneration, empire, race, and crime. In this course, students will sample a set of novels that exemplify the distinct generic and thematic innovations of the period.
