Greetings ENG 341ers and welcome to the WordPress site for Nineteenth-Century British Novel. This site will serve as our course syllabus and blog. We also have a Moodle site, where you will find more detailed information about weekly reading and writing assignments as well as copies of course handouts and presentations. Your first assignment, due on Wednesday 1/26, is posted there.
Something silly for when you need a break from papers and exams. I would love to read your abridged versions of our novels. 🙂
