| Course description |
This course will provide an overview of the development of the 'naturalist' style in late-19th/early-20th century fiction. French, Scottish, English and American texts will be studied; much of the focus will be on the ways in which scientific, economic and social ideas may (or may not) become embedded within a specific literary style. |
