Money in British Fiction
Summary
In the course, a number of British novels in different genres and written during the Late Victorian period and later, down to the present day, are studied in order to discuss the role that money plays in them.
About
By looking more closely at the historical contexts that have given rise
to the different ways in which money plays an importance in the novels,
the course shows how literature is a place where cultural importance is
added to the objective meaning of money.
The aim of the course is both
to show how fictitious statements contribute to the general public's
understanding of economics and how our understanding of money in turn is
central for how we create literary meaning. In this way, the course
facilitates further discussion of literature as a medium through which
material inequality and ecological imbalance can be maintained as well
as challenged.
The course has scheduled online classes.
