Period

Learning outcomes
The course “Northern Elements in 18th- and Early 19th-century Literature” will show how literature, and the genre of the novel in particular, makes use of Northern and Saxon-gothic elements. Through this filter we will analyse how the aesthetic, cultural, economic, and philosophical changes of this complex age, rich in dramatic, historical events, will permeate the literary field.
The course will be taught in English.
