Catalog Description : A comparative study of nineteenth century European realism, with readings taken from a variety of national traditions. Collaborative teaching of each text will expose participants to a wide range of critical and pedagogical methods. With instructor approval students may also register concurrently for an additional tutorial (3 units) in which we will read and discuss important theoretical works on the history of the novel form. May be repeated when topic is different. TOPICS FOR Winter 2026: Flaubert, Tolstoy, Hardy PREREQUISITES: None In this course, we’ll read three novels from the second half of the nineteenth century: Madame Bovary, Anna Karenina, and Tess of the d’Urbervilles. As we read, and certainly as we discuss, we’ll return to several major themes: changing views of women; changing attitudes towards sex and sexuality; the disappearance of God; and the rise of modern capitalism.
