ENGL 155 PZ -Victorian Monsters
Institution: Pitzer
Description: Victorian Monsters: Making the Modern Person
This course investigates the emergence of modern personhood in 19th-C British literature in relation to “monsters†or the “monstrous.†The most terrifying Victorian monsters are those creatures who appear
wholly or partly human, often passing as human until their fundamental difference is exposed. What cultural fears, anxieties, and desires do these beings embody? Why do Victorian monsters continue to grip our imagination? What can the monsters teach us humans about ourselves?
Prerequisite(s): A prior literature class or permission of instructor. Please also check the current course schedule for requirements.
