Dombey and Son, published between 1846-1848, is a major example of the type of social realism commonly associated with the name of Charles Dickens. The 1000-page-novel tells the story of the house of Dombey – private and public – by unfolding a panorama of early Victorian characters, places, voices, and themes. The course is, first and foremost, designed to deepen your "Grundkurs"-knowledge of the discourse of the novel and to develop your competence in the analysis and interpretation of narrative fiction. Background information about relevant contexts (industrialisation, class issues, gender roles…) will be introduced and discussed where necessary. Please buy the Oxford World's Classic's edition of Dombey and Son (ISBN-13: 978-0199536283) and start reading as soon as you can! |
