Class Notes
From the instructor: In Monster Theory, Jeffrey Cohen writes that ?[t]he monster is born only at this metaphoric crossroads, as an embodiment of a certain cultural moment?of a time, a feeling, a place.? In this course, we will consider how the Victorians? construction of monstrosity reflects their particular historical moment, characterized by industrialization, colonization, and scientific development. Through a critical examination of monsters in literature, we will explore anxieties, fears, and ideals of Victorian society, paying close attention to issues of gender, sexuality, class, race, empire, scientific, and technology.
