Fiction and Narrative

Building on Concepts in Literary Studies, this course traces how prose fiction in English evolved from its eighteenth-century beginnings through realism, the Gothic, and into modernist and postmodern experimentation, treating each novel as a site where formal choices about narration, structure, and voice carry real interpretive weight. You'll work through a compact canon — Defoe, Walpole, Dickens, Stevenson, Woolf, Winterson — discussing them in class and demonstrating close-reading skills on two midterms and a final. The payoff is a working vocabulary (plot, focalization, narrator, setting) and the historical scaffolding you'll lean on in every later ELIT survey and seminar.
