Location of University of Glasgow

The programme involves taught sessions over two ten-week teaching periods. In each teaching period you will study a core course and an optional topic course. During the final phase of the programme you will undertake supervised study of a specialised topic and submit a dissertation.

Teaching periods also include guest speakers from the UK, Europe and the United States. In recent years, Victorianist speakers have included Julian Wolfreys, Matthew Campbell, Kate Flint, Rebecca Stott, John Bowen, Jane Moody and Ann Heilmann.

The programme is primarily concerned with the Victorian period as an age of questioning. Throughout, the concept of Victorian will be analysed as less than an epoch but more than a queen. We will go beyond her reign into the 19th century, 1790–1914.

Themes covered include

* Perceptions of technology and time
* Gender and sexuality
* The crisis in religious faith
* Notions of popular and high culture
* The dynamics of urban space.
