Primary texts to include poetry by Alfred Tennyson and Robert Browning, as well as fictions by Wilkie Collins, Henry James, George Gissing, Oscar Wilde, Rudyard Kipling and the only recently canonized Amy Levy. We will foreground the historical forces, events, and technological developments that allowed the artist to become, by various accounts, both a sacred figure with a substantial social agency as well as a new name for the outcast, alien, or social deviant. While engaging with the aesthetic as a category with an ancient lineage, we will also emphasize a more local context defined by global commercial modernity and unsettled gender norms.
