These are the centuries which see:in the Enlightenment, the invention and elaboration of modern ‘liberal’ ideas of societyRomantic conceptions of nationality and national historythe challenge to these ideas presented by industrial society and a global Imperial polityThe core courses of this programme will examine the ways in which novels and poems mediated and resisted these and other developments.
