Victorian Art and Culture

Catalog description

This course is in a seminar format. Unlike the straightforward lecture approach of survey courses, a seminar is a forum for open discussion of pertinent topics. The Victorian Period covers the reign of Queen Victoria of England, who sat on the throne from 1837 to 1901. An initial overview will touch on several different topics that define the Victorian era, and subsequent classes will consist of student presentations and in-depth class discussions based on assigned readings.
