SummaryThe nineteenth century was obsessed with the past. Political, religious, scientific, and literary debates were conducted in terms of competing understandings of history, and major thinkers rewrote and appropriated the past in a variety of ways. This course will survey several broad areas that loomed large in the Victorian and Edwardian imagination via the poetry and fiction of major authors, and through contextual readings from contemporary publications.

Learning Outcomes
In addition to the skills training common to all English Literature Honours-level courses (essay-writing, independent reading, group discussion, oral presentation, small-group autonomous learning) this course aims to develop the student's understanding of how a wide range of Victorian and Edwardian writers tried to construct, preserve, or discredit different versions of the past, of ancestry, heritage, and modernity. Students will examine literature as part of a complex interdisciplinary network of knowledge creation, and explore the workings of the cultural imagination.
