This in between period is perhaps known best for its cry of \u201cart for art\u2019s sake\u201d and the suggestion that morality is relative. Because it usually is characterized by decadence and questions of immorality, the end of the nineteenth century is too often overlooked as a period of enormous technological, political, social, and intellectual change in British literary and cultural life. In this course, we will examine literature, and art more broadly, in the context of discourses on urban problems, \u2018The New Woman,\u2019 imperialism and socialism, as well as place it in conversation with a number of developments in science, psychology, and sexology.<\/p>\n We will read a range of different works of fiction, drama, and poetry by authors such as Oscar Wilde, Michael Field, Mona Caird, H.G. Wells, George Bernard Shaw, Bram Stoker, and William Morris.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n https:\/\/archive.org\/details\/lartdansladcorat00uzan<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Welcome to the class website for Dickinson College English 341 Late 19th Century British Literature & Culture: Aesthetes, Libertines, & Dandies **students please refer to the readings &\u00a0schedule for links to readings and updated assignments** 2023 Syllabus PDF The fin de si\u00e8cle\u2014French for \u2018the end of the century\u2019\u2014 is a period of literature and culture … Continue reading Course Information<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1718,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-8","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.dickinson.edu\/britishlit\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/8","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.dickinson.edu\/britishlit\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.dickinson.edu\/britishlit\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.dickinson.edu\/britishlit\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1718"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.dickinson.edu\/britishlit\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=8"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.dickinson.edu\/britishlit\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/8\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.dickinson.edu\/britishlit\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=8"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"lartdansladcorat00uzan_0007\"](\"http:\/\/blogs.dickinson.edu\/britishlit\/files\/2016\/02\/lartdansladcorat00uzan_0007-208x300.jpg\")
