This module aims to introduce students to the genre of the Romantic-period novel, structured around a study of a selection of the most popular and important novelists of the day. Although the Romantic period is most commonly associated with poetry, the novel achieved its modern form at this time; the module aims, through close study and comparison, to allow students to chart the evolution of a genre and the establishment of key aspects of the form. We will investigate issues such as sensibility, the romance vs. the novel, the development of modern notions of gender, the relationship between history, culture and the novel, the idea of influence, and other key notions.
