This course is intended to make the students read a large number of judiciously selected enjoyable reading-materials and then answer simple questions based on those materials.

1. 18^th & 19^th century Novel:

This course is divided into two parts; the 18th novel and the 19th  century novel. The eighteenth century saw the emergence of novel as a genre.

Richardson’s Clarissa, Henry Feeling’s Joseph Andrews, Jonathan Swift’s Gulliver’s Travels and Sterna’s Tristram Shandy constitute the main-stay of the 18^th century course in the novel. Students should be given adequate orientation about the novelistic techniques of these authors and they should be trained to develop critical approaches towards their works. Defoe’s.

Emily Bronte’s Wuthering Heights or Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice will be taught as a sample of the fiction during the first half of the century and a novel written by Dickens, (Oliver Twist or Hard Times) or a novel written by Hardy, e.g., The  Return of the Native will be taught as a sample of novels written during the second half of the century.
