Description
In the seminar, we will look at champions of the British Empire, such as H. Rider Haggard and Rudyard Kipling, as well as at critics like Joseph Conrad and how they used the colonial gothic, and we will also investigate its role in white settler writing in Australia and Canada. A few examples of contemporary postcolonial and neo-Victorian appropriations of the colonial gothic will round out our discussion.
Seminar discussions will be held exclusively via BigBlueBotton.
