Explore the rich literary landscape of 19th-century English fiction through detailed analysis of three seminal works: Jane Austen's Persuasion, Charles Dickens' A Tale of Two Cities, and Robert Louis Stevenson's The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. Examine how class structures influenced Victorian society, analyze the evolving roles of women during this transformative period, and investigate the historical events that shaped these enduring narratives. Engage with comprehensive chapter-by-chapter discussions that employ literary analysis, historical contextualization, and close reading techniques to uncover the complexities embedded within each novel. Participate in seminars and thematic discussions covering narrative points of view, gender dynamics, class hierarchies, and historical contexts that defined the 19th-century literary tradition. Develop critical thinking skills through systematic exploration of character development, plot structure, and the social commentary these authors wove into their fictional works.
