Expanded Course Description
This course focuses on representations of the country and city in British prose and poetry of the latter half of the nineteenth century. In our reading, we'll travel from the moors of Brontë country to the urban landscape of Sherlock Holmes’s London. Along the journey, we may also encounter a goblin or two, children, madwomen, criminals, detectives, and other misfits. We'll read _Jane Eyre_ by Charlotte Brontë, _Goblin Market_ by Christina Rossetti, _The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde_ by Robert Louis Stevenson, selected short stories featuring Sherlock Holmes by Arthur Conan Doyle, and primary and secondary readings on gender, imperialism, and space.
