1. To develop an understanding of the relationship between political, cultural and aesthetic revolutions in the long nineteenth century.
2. To enable critically informed reading of texts published between 1790 and 1930.
3. To develop understanding of different cultural contexts and their effects on literary production.
4. To encourage an understanding of different critical approaches to texts published between 1790 and 1830, including theories of modernity and issues of ideological transmission, textual production and authorship.

This module will explore a range of texts published between 1790 and 1930 which document revolutionary moments in political ideology, gender identity and aesthetics. Arranged around three revolutionary moments- the French revolution of 1789, the European revolutions of 1848, and the duration and aftermath of the First World War, it will examine texts that bear witness to the birth of new forms of modernity and which challenge (or sometimes reassert) dominant political, gender and aesthetic ideologies. Authors studied are likely to include, Edmund Burke, Mary Wollstonecraft, Thomas Carlyle, Elizabeth Gaskell, Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels, John Mitchel, Amy Dillwyn, William Morris, Walter Greenwood, and Idris Davies.
