See CRICOS-registered alternativesThis subject is about the volatile relationship between the ever-shifting form of the novel and modernity. Beginning with one of the first novels published in English, students will explore how the novel is shaped by larger questions about identity, belonging, the literary marketplace and the history of the novel itself. From the 1680s to the 2020s, we investigate how novels have been sites of experimentation and transformation. Students will hone their skills in textual criticism, their understanding of literary history and theory, and their critical engagement with the role of historical, political and cultural context in making a novel's meaning. Students completing this subject will encounter a range of novels from a range of literary periods and will develop an understanding of how the genre has mutated over time. By closely analysing how authors from different cultural moments have represented and changed the worlds they live in, this subject will enrich students' understanding of how writing, critical reading and literary analysis are part of global citizenship. This is a level 2 subject. Please consider the subject pre-requisites before enrolling. This subject includes live sessions with the expectation of student attendance and participation.
