Description

The students are expected to read a total of seven novels from early and mid-Victorian England which have been selected so as to represent various key genres of the novel. They then analyse individual works on their own premises and in doing so obtain a collective picture of the development of the 19th century novel.

The rise of the mass reading audience on which this development rested is also discussed.

Parallel to the literary works, students read scholarly material relating to the genre of the novel. Articles are selected to provide knowledge on the literary texts, to develop the ability to work with literary concepts and to train the student in distinguishing between various scholarly approaches and approaches to literary criticism over an extended period of time.

The course is an optional course in the Master of Arts programme in Literature – Culture – Media. It is also offered as a single course.

Note!

This course is not open as a freestanding course next semester. It can be open for application within a programme or for students in an exchange programme. Please ask your academic advisor for information.

How to apply

Lund University uses a national application system run by University Admissions in Sweden. It is only possible to apply during the application periods: October–January for autumn semester and June–August for spring semester.

Extended application deadline

Sometimes the application deadline is extended for a specific programme or course. In these cases you will find the message "open for late application" by the programme/course information on universityadmissions.se. You apply with the usual application steps. As long as this message is showing, it is possible to apply, but late applications are processed in order of date, so it is still important to apply as soon as possible. Please note that if the programme/course does not have an extended deadline, it is not possible to apply late.

First or Second Admission Round?

All international students are encouraged to apply to the First admission round. This round takes place many months before the start of a semester and gives students the time they need to pay their tuition fees, apply for and receive their residence permit (if required), find housing, etc.

The Second admission round is an alternative for students from EU/EEA countries as they do not need a residence permit. Non-EU/EEA students will most likely not have enough time to obtain their permit before the start of the semester. However, even EU/EEA students are advised to apply during the First admission round, as some programmes can be applied for only in the January round. Also, this provides applicants with an admission decision much earlier, which is helpful in making decisions about their studies.
