LMC 3112 surveys nineteenth- and early-twentieth-century social, literary, and political movements in relation to scientific and technological concepts and discoveries. Subjects for this iteration of the course include the rise of industrialism and urbanism; scientific accounts of evolution by natural selection; evolutionary themes in fiction and poetry; and colonialism. Students will consider the ways in which these ideas (industrialism, evolution, revolution, and colonialism) intersect in representing human responses to social circumstances and the continuing influences of these ideas.
