a teaching visit<\/a> involves a small group of faculty who observe a colleague\u2019s class (on a selected day), followed by an hour of conversation about what was observed, particularly shared teaching challenges. the 2022年世界杯中国小组赛积分 has hosted teaching visits for many years and they have been among the most productive and helpful events we offer. they are wonderful opportunities for vanderbilt teachers to observe directly and then discuss various forms of teaching across the disciplines, building collegiality and expertise around inquiries into teaching and learning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

engl 231: the 19th-century english novel<\/h4>\n

from the french revolution to the start of the 20th century, europe underwent revolutions in economics, psychology, aesthetics, trade, marriage, law, and personal identity.\u00a0 in every case, the british\u00a0novel, with its evolving notions of character, narrative, and representation, influenced (sometime by endorsing, sometimes by resisting) these social transformations.\u00a0 experiments in genre, inventions of distribution mechanisms, and theorizations of the imagination all contributed to the novel\u2019s ascendency as a social phenomenon.<\/p>\n

in this course, we will explore some of the most remarkable of the novels, ranging from william godwin\u2019s\u00a0caleb williams, an early crime thriller, to george eliot\u2019s sweeping\u00a0middlemarch, to oscar wilde\u2019s\u00a0picture of dorian gray,\u00a0in which the stirrings of modernism peek through amidst mayhem and wit. reading\u00a0novels that vary in hue from the realism of daily life and manners to the absurd and sensational, dripping in blood, we will consider\u00a0the emerging middle class, with its class consciousness and money concerns; the geographies of the novel, from teeming metropolis to close-knit provincial communities; the dynamics of gender as refracted through the novelistic interest in psychology and memory; and the strange ironies in which fiction becomes a form of truth.<\/p>\n
