This course gives an overview of English literature from the beginning of the eighteenth century to the end of the Victorian age, with a focus on the emergence and development of the novel.
This course includes seven hours of workshops. These sessions are meant to help students become more familiar with the texts thanks to activities in which the extracts discussed in class are approached from a different angle. The workshops also include writing tasks and/or short presentations.

Lectures. Students are encouraged to actively prepare and take part in the discussions through weekly compulsory reading tasks.
The lectures make ample use of audio-visual material and technologies (extracts from film adaptations or performances, interactive quizzes with voting devices, etc.).

15-minute oral exam (with 15 additional minutes for preparation)

A bibliography with the main references is included in the reading portfolio.

Course notes with a course plan, the reading portfolio and a glossary.
PowerPoint presentations available on Moodle after each session.
