Become a London flâneur, walking the streets and interpreting the signs of the city as if it were a text. Reading a wide variety of novels, including classics and lesser known works, from the nineteenth century up to the present. Beginning with Dickens in order to recapture the sense of London as the greatest and dirtiest of cities and the focus of aspiration. Explores the significance of class, the changing role of women in the metropolis, London as the center of Empire and as a contemporary world city. Considers literary style and narrative technique, in addition to historical context. By paying close attention to both text and context, students may achieve a lively appreciation of these works in and of themselves and as part of the cultural life of London.
