Over the course of the nineteenth century, the novel not only rose in literary prominence but also exploded in broad popularity. In this class, we will track the so-called “rise of the novel” alongside Britain’s expanding imperialist project. Examining a range of different genres – from blockbuster sensations like the adventures of Sherlock Holmes or Bram Stoker's Dracula to socially critical novels like the anonymously authored A Woman of Colour – we will explore how storytelling shapes the way readers understand their place in the world.
