- Inhalt
- What hopes, desires, anxieties – and fears? – were produced by living in a Victorian city? We will look at 19th-century representations of urban life in selected plays, short stories, newspaper articles and in a serialized romance. In the process, we will study some of the popular Victorian myths connected with urbanization and new forms of sociability (and, to some extent, 20th-century myths of the Victorian Age). We will also look at 19th-century concepts of realism, discourses of power, gender roles, and the forms and shapes of popular culture in the 19th century (specifically in the context of new media forms such as mass-circulated newspapers, popular magazines, early tabloids).
