- Inhalt
- Douglas Jerrold's The Rent Day was a very popular melodrama in the 19th century. Apart from this stage play, there are also prose texts which evince theatrical elements. These texts draw on Victorian popular entertainments such as pantomimes or magic lantern shows. This seminar looks at various theatrical elements and forms of Victorian popular culture in literary and seemingly non-literary texts. We will analyze different theatrical elements to examine how they function in conjunction with discourses of gender, class and race. The texts will be approached by means of basic analytical strategies which are prevalent in literary and cultural studies and which can also be applied to other fields of study. Students wishing to participate in the seminar are expected to acquire a copy of The Importance of Being Earnest and A Christmas Carol and Other Christmas Books and to read Charles Dickens's “A Christmas Carol” before the beginning of the semester. Douglas Jerrold's The Rent Day and extracts from Henry Mayhew’s London Labour and the London Poor will be available via StudOn.
