Dr. Narin Hassan

T/TH 12:30-1:45pm

Course Description: 

This course will consider the prolific work of the Brontë sisters to trace the enduring influence of their writing within Victorian culture as well as contemporary literature and film. We will examine the literary movements, influences, and genres represented in novels such as Charlotte Bronte’s Jane Eyre and Emily Brontë’s Wuthering Heights (as well as other works) and examine how their forms of psychological realism represented aspects of nineteenth century culture and the rise of the woman writer. We will also discuss examples of adaptation within contemporary films, texts, art works, and music that are influenced by or reference their novels.
