Syllabus, project assignments, computer-assisted text analysis exercises, and others materials for a mid-level undergraduate course
This course engages with the long history of the novel, stretching from its eighteenth-century origins to its Victorian and Modernist incarnations through its post-colonial and post-modernist reconfigurations, with particular attention paid to the novel's production, circulation, reception, and materiality, and to digital methods for analyzing both individual texts and larger corpora. See the course syllabus for a more extended overview of the major concerns and theoretical frameworks engaged in this course.
Assignments includes instructions and materials for a series of computationally-assisted text analysis exercises, along with material contextualizing these exercises within various literary-critical debates regarding the novel, scholarly canons, and the digital humanities.
