Information
Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung
Each lesson of this lecture will come in three acts. Act I will introduce you to one key event or concept or invention or theory or phenomenon or discourse or person or phantasma that helped shape (an aspect of) Victorian culture. (i.e. Darwinism; the phonograph; entertainment; the Indian 'Mutiny'/Sepoy Rebellion; the concept of the 'eminent Victorian'; spiritualism; entertainment; hysteria; photography; concepts of non-heteronormative desire etc.). Act II will discuss one or more Victorian literary text/s, which comment/s on or stage/s or touch/es upon whatever has been discussed in Act I. Finally, Act III will put a Neo-Victorian text or film (written/shot in the late 20th/21st century but set in the 19th) with a strong connection to the topic of the lesson centre stage, and explore how 19th century history and/or literature are portrayed, taken up, re-written, commented on, distorted, criticised or re-framed from a contemporary perspective.

Literatur
You don't need to buy any books for this lecture. All material for your preparation will be made available on Moodle.Background Reading:
If you want to do some prep-reading, I recommend Marie-Luise Kohlke and Christian Gutleben, "Introduction: Bearing After-Witness to the Nineteenth Century" in: Kohlke/Gutleben (eds.), Neo-Victorian Tropes of Trauma, (Amsterdam & NY: Rodopi, 2010), 1-34. It would be also useful if you could watch a production of Gilbert & Sullivan's The Mikado (1885) on youtube (e.g. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kfhbwsJe_tE) or listen to a recording of it, while reading the libretto. At some point during term you'll have to watch Mike Leigh's, Topsy-Turvy (1999), but you might as well do it in the break. The same goes for David Lynch's The Elephant Man (1980). It would not hurt if you read the entries for Charles Babbage, Charles Darwin, Charles Dickens, Julia Margaret Cameron, Alfred Lord Tennyson, William S. Gilbert, Arthur Sullivan and Lewis Carroll in the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography.
