Kommentar:
The authors to be discussed combined their interest in literary realism and naturalism with an investigation into the social and economic forces, and scientific and philosophical ideas of the 19th century to produce gripping and brutal narratives of human suffering and delusion. Participants are likely to convert to vegetarianism during term, and a visit to the dentist will never be the same again. You are expected to have read Maggie by the beginning of term.
