| Course description |
A study of attitudes towards class and culture in the industrial novel, this course proposes to examine a range of texts from the 19th century. As well as major 'condition of England' novels such as Jane Eyre, Hard Times and North and South, texts to be introduced will include non-fiction representations of industrial life: trades union anthems, radical poetry, and working class autobiography.
