課程概述 |
This course studies the relationship of Victorian people and their possessions, with special attention on the things at home. In the era of ferociously emerging capitalism and urbanization, Victorians held a tenacious interest in their belongings, especially domestic ones that contribute to the constructions of their identities. This course aims to first familiarize the student with the established studies of Victorian things, of materialism, and of Victorian home. The student will then take advantage of these studies to analyze two of Charles Dickens’s late novels, including Great Expectations and Our Mutual Friend. |
|
課程目標 |
At the end of this course, the student will develop a thesis proposal.
|
|
課程要求 |
The student is required to finish all the assigned readings before the session and participate actively in the discussion. |
