ENGL 214 - Inside/Out: The Literature of Interiority and the Interiority of Literature

An introduction to literary study focusing on interiors — psychological, architectural, and literary. Aligning 19th-century developments in domestic architecture with changing ideas of personal subjectivity, we will ask, in turn, how such models structure our understanding of the literary text — as that which has been written and is to be read in private, as that which speaks to our most intimate experience, as that whose formal complexity doubles the domestic interior as a world apart from work and public politics.
